We are in the mess that we are because less than 50% people vote in the first place.

If 100% of people voted and the Dems won again, they would still be committing genocide. Not sure what your point is here.

That’s a strawman argument and a very big logical leap. If 100% of the people voted, maybe we could get candidates that actually represent us and our interests. The political makeup of this country would change and somehow you think they would still act the same.

Where? You'd still see liberals crying about leftists voting third party.

The problem is that humans are the representatives, and they represent their interests first and foremost. You could get A.I. as our overlords, but they will represent the interests of those that program them. If that day ever arrives, I'm investing in Pepsico and Frito-Lays
