The real #problem is the very #structure of what we call #democracy...
...which enables elites to interfere before #elections, during elections and after elections, because we have a #representational #voting #system.
That, as you know, evolved in the #US after the #War of Independence to exclude the #common people from #participation in the #political process and to favor and #support the #elites.
So we've never had proper democracy, [even] going back to ancient Athens and such.
Instead, it’s actually people being selected randomly by sortition that say that the powers that be cannot interfere with who actually gets the rule, and ordinary people do not rule rather than people selected by political parties.
