I've said it before and I'll say it again Democracy simply doesn't work
It works quite well. And it could work much better than it does now in the US. But wealth inequality erodes the education and free time of the population entrusted with the responsibility of voting.
for those who are downvoting, this is a simpsons reference about almost this exact same thing.
if you’re downvoting because it’s a simpsons reference, ouch!
First past the post representative "democracy" sure as hell doesn't.
I'm not certain it's a valid inference to throw all possible forms of truly democratic government through the drain along with it.
