I don't understand this coin anymore.

It'd be nice if we could get an explanation of how to see who the delegates are and how to check the list of all registered delegates...
Just go to the DPOS tab on the qtwallet.  You will see a list of all the delegates.  If you uncheck "autoselect delegates" then you can choose who to vote for.

OK, thanks, I've only tried simplewallet so far. Is the wallet's vote weighted by how much coins are in the wallet? Or are all wallet votes counted equally? Even a wallet with zero balance? Just curious how things work, since afaik there's not really any documentation besides the code itself.
yes we will have to write up a documentation at some point.  But for now I'll answer as people ask:

You vote with your XPBs.  Any one XPB is worth as much as any other XPB in terms of voting.  So the more XPBs you have the more votes you have.  Whenever you make a transaction, the wallet adds votes to it with the rest of your unspent coins, if you have any unvoted coins left.

So, I'm guessing Poloniex controls the vast majority of all XPB in existence...is there anything to stop them from controlling all or practically all of the voting delegates?
