@xankarn@mastodon.online We have this "election" system whereby we vote for certain people to take power to make decisions and solve problems for us instead of us doing that for ourselves. This system says whoever gets a majority of votes for a position "wins." The whole system leads to division among people because it says one ideology is better than another. So, instead of people working together to solve problems, the system works to set people one against another. This way energy and time that could have been used to fix problems gets used instead to fight one another. What I cannot understand is why people think this is going to work in the future when it has led more or less directly to the fascist regime we see in front of us now. One thing that needs to be done is to do away with permanent positions of power.
