The current system has some fatal flaws: It is reliably and repeatedly failing at holding politicians accountable for their actions and forcing them to actually do what they promised before the election. It also strongly favours parties and politicians backed by people and corporations with deep pockets.
Unless there is accountability, the system will ultimately fail. Unfortunately, those who could introduce such accountability, are exactly the same people who greatly profit from there being none.
People are not exerting enough of their political will in a material way. All this energy we (myself included) put into having these perfect little opinions on the internet should really be directed at in-person protests, organising, and demanding better. Really shouting in faces type of stuff. That’s what’s up.
