      This is how democracy is supposed to work

      Oh, right, that must be why the Overtone window is now so far to the right that even basic human rights are considered some extremist plot… 🙄

      Worst thing is, without meaning to or understanding why, you actually are right, “democracy” is working as intended, it was just never intended to work for you.

        Republicans fall in line. Democrats see that, and since they need votes to get into office, they move towards the voters who show up. People follow their incentives, and for politicians it points due “get elected”.
