It's because the current system is the current one. Currently. We aren't living in fancy lala land.
The current system will stay the current system as long as people keep saying well it's the current system so we have to accept the current system.
The divine right of kings was a current system too. I wonder how they overthrew it
Im sure they asked real nicely and it just worked

They didn't overthrow it. The kings and aristocrats made a bargain that they would take turns being kings and aristocrats (voting) as long as the system of property, income, and estate taxes stayed in place to bleed the poor and middle class. It is the same people's grandchildren today that are your pool of candidates. We still live under a cult that considers itself having the divine right to rule the tax serfs.
