For sure, there are issues. I'm just not sure the alternative (no voting) would be better.

I appreciate your perspective! What do you think could be done to address the issues with voting and improve the system? #LetsDiscuss
It would be infinitely better than now. If voting got us into the mess we're in now. Imagine if instead of people worrying about the next political pundits attempting to swindle themselves into office for another few years. That time was actually spent doing PRODUCTIVE things. Like inventing new things, creating art, music, podcasts.
Voting is AN EXTRACTIVE process. Its give legitimacy to a system in which wealth (private property) is taken from one group to be given to another whomever which got the most votes this season. If you believe people are dumb and ignorant and need leaders to be lead. How is it that you can choose that leader out of those same dumb and ignorant people and expect them not to be fallible in anyway?
How do you incentivise productive behaviour? And by whose definition? One person's productive behaviour may seem like a waste of time for others. The incentives for politicians are wrong, thanks to fiat. Remove fiat, improve transparency and democracy is 100% more effective. Not perfect, but better than authoritarianism.
