Voting is maybe the bluntest of all instruments for getting a thing done. Because the signal is basically conjoined in with all the other things that person needs to also make themselves a proponent of in order to gain enough support to be elected.

Yup. Election campaigns are bribing voters with their own money or printed money. And especially with two dominant parties which are pretty much aligned on everything that actually matters and just wrap their authoritarianism in different packages, you have zero power in the so called "democratic" process.

It's literally just which dictator do you want bro?
