its a hard pill to swallow, but it might be time for us to accept that democracy enables this and if we want to live in a better world we might have to think of a different model (no, not a dictatorship; obviously not that)

democracy is based on the idea that people will vote in favor of their own interest. it has been proven repeatedly that this is not the case (see: the united states of america)

democracy as a system has been figured out by enough people with enough power to rig it in their favor, even when science and research shows that this is not the better outcome for the majority (see: the united states of america)

its a hard pill to swallow but it might be time for us to accept that democracy isn't perfect...
