 Gee I sure wish my country didn't hold the decisionmaking capability from me
 by gatekeeping it behind elections and polling. Sure wish our media wasn't so
 involved in decisionmaking - isn't it something we should talk about amongst

 topic before expressing ourselves. Ideally more often than twice a year,
 perhaps whenever we want?

 truth is, you can absolutely make selfishness justified, both ethically and
 morally. you just need the right incentives.
 
 however, the incentives that would lead to such a case are not the kind that
 accrete power to the powerful. they are the liberatory kind, that give us all
 the liberty to be selfishly interested in our own communal good.

 sorry 😅 
 
 re-reading what you wrote, your point was that it's unfair that republicans
 are granted the control they have over our society through the
 disenfranchisement of democrat voters, right?
 
 and I was saying that if those limitations were removed, the democrats would
 win in a landslide everywhere in the country, which gives me faith in my
 fellow countrymen.
 
 am I on the right track now?

 a piece of data transmitted over the internet
 
 and if it's suitably controversial then no matter which way the vote swings it
 gets blocked (temporarily) anyway

 The judges prevent the politicians from harming the people who elect the
 politicians who select the judges. Sounds like it should work well, no?
 
 well... the people are divided, but the politicians it seem are hardly so. So,
 the politicians elect their judges, who allow the passage of such laws which
 contradict the will of the people.
 
 The keys to power should rest in the hands of those who deserve it, not those
 who claim it. If those who claim it do not relinquish it for a worthy other,
 they are corrupt and must be dethroned.
