    Or maybe voting on which member of the ruling class will oppress people isn’t meaningful democracy.

      Agreed, would love to see FPTP replaced with ranked choice voting, and getting rid of the electoral college altogether. This would open the door for a party actually on the left, and if given a platform I’m sure they’d dominate the current establishment. Believe it or not only a relatively small fraction of America is full on maga fascist.

        I mean that’s how a lot of European systems work and clearly isn’t helping much there either. The reality is that liberal democracies turn towards fascism in times of crisis. The problem is with the inequality and the fact that a handful of rich oligarchs own everything while exploiting everyone else. No meaningful democracy is possible unless means of production are owned by the workers. The rich will always get their way.
