This is literally a discussion Bout ho elections aren’t free and fair. We did not vote for this and the vast majority of Americans, in a true democratic election (not a representative democracy), would stop this from ever passing. But that isn’t how we operate. Instead we vote for people who vote on our behalf and we vote for law makers who make laws on our behalf and who vote on those laws. And we somehow just have to trust the representatives to actually represent us. But there’s no way in hell that is going to always work.
Voter support for higher minimum wage is around 70%. Support for universal healthcare and abortion is over 60%. Support for term limits is over 70%. And so on.
Our government is pay-for-play, and the voters can’t pay… but Musk and Amazon and the rest have some discretionary income to share with the politicians.

“Always going to work” = never works
