Democracy doesn’t work when the base is this dumb. Need to find another way.
Democracy is not a nice to have, but a check and a balance on power. The problem is the two party system, that and the fact that money has become a bridge between the separation of powers.
The democrats don’t give a damn about democracy either. They inserted Biden into the election without a proper primary (while the republicans were at least doing a show of it), but then realised that he’s too old and inserted Kamela as the new candidate with no primary, which shows how they disregard the will of the electorate.
This caused voter disenfranchisement, leading to low voter turnout and handing the election over to Trump. They’ll probably do it again, over their stance on Palestine - believe it or not - and it’s kind of stupid.
Ironically, this was what the EC was supposed to protect us from.
IKR?
