Call it a "representative republic", a "constitutional republic", or a "democracy". The outcome is the same: Stupid people v*te for evil people to rule them and their neighbors with legislation.
And anyone imagines this is a good system?
You can wish that the truth would be otherwise: that wise, well-meaning, and informed people v*te for wise, well-meaning, and intelligent people to administer the power of a legitimate institution to guide society in the right direction and protect the rights of the individual. Yeah, that has never been the reality in the history of political government.
Wise, well-meaning, informed, and intelligent people are vastly outnumbered, and political office attracts the worst of the worst, and selects for the worst among them. Plus, the system is rigged from top to bottom.
If every congressvermin were replaced with a clone of George Santos it would be a vast improvement over the current situation.
You can wish the truth weren't true all day long for the rest of your life. Wishes don't change reality.
Political government is a disaster and always has been. Even when people close their eyes to the truth and say there isn't any good alternative. Doing nothing is better than continuing to do the wrong thing. Scrap it all.
