That's the question that nobody ever answers.

I'm not american but I live in a country where I believe does not employ true democracy. I actually question the ability of the majority to decide on anything, but in either case, how do you get out of that?

Here voting is mandatory which means even people that don't even know who the candidates are, have the same political power as I do.

Voting feels like a sad joke that the rich and powerful gave us so we can pretend we are "in control". In reality money votes, not people.
