Doesn't that say more about democracy
How can you not love democracy? You have the power to choose the one that you definitely don't want to win but you never vote for whoever represents you. Working as intended.
Everyone has an equal vote in the US (of course I'm not talking about felons, etc. who lost their vote). Everyone is just so scared "of the other guy winning" they don't elect the person who should win. There isn't a candidate even bothering with a "crawl back to democracy" plan with the end of gerrymandering, federal protection for absentee ballots, better healthcare laws to allow better movement between jobs (why not do Medicare For All which takes out the middleman?), etc. The people still have the power, they are too scared they will lose what position they have in society if they attempt to use it.
Democracy isn't failing, propaganda is just winning.
edit: Why should there be a candidate who wants to make things better? Why put resources into that kind of work when it's not even needed to secure votes.
Everyone has an equal vote in the US
False. Someone in North Dakota has a lot more power in their vote than someone in California.
That's more of an issue of gerrymandering and Electoral College, which unfortunately are not even issues in the news lately. The gerrymandering is proof we elect horrible people repeatedly.
That's a bit of a selection bias. It's hard enough finding one lawyer that won't work in their own best interests...finding 535 selfless lawyers is downright impossible.
