A 24-country survey finds a median of 59% are dissatisfied with how their democracy is functioning, and 74% think elected officials don’t care what people like them think.
Considering the smallest non-fragmented group has resulted in the current 2-party system in most western countries, and results in tribalistic xenophobia, I’m quite content stating democracy is not the egalitarianism it is purported to be.
And yet the electoral systems aren’t democratic to begin with. As in, even if you made a perfect electoral system, it would barely be 10% democracy because democracy has little to do with the ability to choose which master gets to whip you every 4 years.
Game theory would like a word.

And I quite resent the insinuation I’m a lapdog.
