    Yeah - unfortunately, we’re not nearly as evolved away from our animalistic ancestors as many like to think.

      i think we are, but the archaic system in place allows the cavemen the same chances as everyone else to compete and thus you have those like Trump getting elected.

          how is it not a systemic problem if it allows people who does not belong in power to exploit the system and gain power?

          like, these fuckers has, since the days of reagan, kept adding holes in the system so they can cheat to win.

          patch those holes and they got no chance. start with the EC. then broadcasting. then legal bribery. and we’re off to a good start.

              Until capitalism is lynched with prejudice those with money and power will tear down any safeguards put in place to stop them. Rid the word of capitalism and maybe we have a chance.

          Direct democracy and the head of state and law makers having no real power beyond implementing what was voted on would be fine. It won’t be perfect and it will be gamed but surely it’s better than what we have now.
