Couldn’t agree more. The people make up the democracy and they are (for a lack of better word in this instance) stupid and not demanding for a change (of laws, legislature and the people representing them). While banning ads is a solution it’s like treating the symptom and not the root cause - educating masses and giving them a way to practice. active citizenry which is the foundation of democracy. It’s it’s way to hard if not down right impossible to be and active citizen. The system has evolved such that the masses have no time. Capitalistic system promotes a lot of good thing but the downside it’s the masses participating in it mostly have no time for anything other that working. Even for them to go vote is so hard. Even if they make it there it’s hard to understand the ballot and who or what they are voting for. Once they have voted there are basically done till the next voting cycle 2 years out. There is no way for them to keep tabs on progress, voice against things they object or keep their politicians in check. They best solution today is to “call you representative”. Even if you do what do you tell them? It’s all quite like a spaghetti which is quite hard to untangle.
