*American "democracy".

Other countries don't have this problem, most picked other voting forms than "first past the post", which over time destroyed our ability to have more than two actual serious political parties. So both those parties get overtaken by ethically dubious people, overtly for the entire republican party, and subtly with the establishment democrats, and it all collapses.

Yes but we don’t live in other countries. We live in the stupid one.

Have you seen the recent elections in Germany, Poland or France? Literally the entire western world is at risk of fascism. The problem isn't "first past the post", the problem is capitalism.
