                Democracy is when you live in the country with the highest suicide rate in the world and a corporate dystopia where union or communist organising is illegal.

                The approval rating for the government, like all liberal “democracies” (none of them are democracies) is 36%. I could guess that it was lower than 50% before goggling it because it’s almost like a law of liberal democracy. The people don’t actually have any control over policy (which is always controlled by oligarchs in countries with parliaments). Once the election hype dies down, being betrayed becomes inevitable.
