    Our “democracy” does this by design. Looking at history, it’s hard to believe we can ever fix this.

      Yeah I know. All the rules are written and being written by the already rich and powerful. Based on the world’s oldest national constitution still in use.

      Who would have thought that perpetually basing society on the opinions of a bunch of slave owning WASPs would lead to inequality ‽

        And then we’re supposed to feel enthused about voting for the candidate who’s gracious enough to harm fewer marginalized groups, rather than feeling perpetually depressed and miserable about the whole situation, which seems like a normal reaction.

      I wouldn’t say it’s by design. It hasnt had any updates in quite awhile. It’s like a Commodore 64 trying to play Skyrim. When it was designed, the world was much different. We have not updated our government to catch up.
