      The people are partially to blame, but let’s be real, the voting system practically guarantees voter disenfranchisement.

      It’s how the US has ended up with the far right, and right-lite-maybe-a-little-good-stuff-but-mostly-capitalism-status-quo party duopoly.

      Democracy is dead in the digital age. It’s a non-functional and corrupt system incapable of representing or addressing the majority’s actual needs properly. The US has fallen before many European democracies, but they will crumble under the weight of AI-powered digital disinformation and manipulation too.
