what can you do? they have billions and we have signatures.
- p0w3n3d 4mo agoI perceive democracy as a company, where people are bosses because they choose their workers. If you're the boss, and your employee uses your money to buy themselves a car instead of representing your interest, you make them pay for this and fire them
- trinix912 4mo agoYou can vote for someone else the next time. Sadly the EU parliament elections turnout is still relatively low in many member states.
- one33seven 4mo agookay so how do we convince enough people to vote correctly? And what is the correct choice?
- inigyou 4mo agoPiracy, so they don't have billions any more?
- one33seven 4mo agoI like your mode of thinking
- dspillett 4mo agoThat is just restarting the problem: democracy breaks when money easily overrides the needs/desires of the people. We also have votes, but unfortunately getting people to consider this sort of issue while casting their ballot¹ is rather difficult. Getting people to vote for the bigger picture for their benefit and that of us all doesn't work well as they are far more likely to vote on a single issue that has been in the news recently and whoever they vote for will u-turn on once in control anyway… -------- [1] or even getting them to care at all, in the case of European elections [not that this is directly relevant here because of spit brexit].
