If society, as a whole (or majority) decides such an aspect is ugly, then they can put a law in to outlaw it. It is good in theory, but does it work in practice though? For example, majority of the country supports $15 minimum wage, access to abortion, maternity leave etc. Doesn't mean any of this is happening. There are so many "think tanks" and non-profits whose sole job is to advocate shitty ideas of their ultra rich patrons. A small minority with huge resources can consistently do stuff that the rest of us can only dream of. Even if civil participation is good, a well funded foundation can twist and turn the narrative to their advantage and confuse the voters. |

That majority is not evenly distributed across the country. In areas where those people do form a majority, they do enact laws supporting those things. In areas where there is not a majority supporting those things, they don't.
