This stuff literally only gets better if people get out and vote
Politics in the western world is shedding the 19-20th-century ideologies and right/left wing parties and devolving into at it's root, autocracy vs small-d democracy.
The problem here is that the autocrats also support 'free-market capitalism' (which works basically as described in this article - crony capitalism), and motivates their voting blocs with fear. Their voting blocks vote reliably. The result is things like Trump and Brexit.
The small-d democratic parties basically motivate their voters with hope and freedom to do your own thing. the problem is that their voters tend to do their own thing, and that thing is not attempting to control others for profit, and they tend to be apathetic about voting. Especially since their demographic tends to be young, and the young are famous for having loads of political opinions but not actually showing up to vote - especially in minor elections, such as mid-terms and state elections in the USA. Active disinformation campaigns don't help.
Somehow, the Nordic countries seem to have cracked the participation code a few generations ago, and are anti-autocratic and nice places to live. Whether this can be sustained in other democracies is an open question.
No, it is not, if you are paying the slightest bit of attention to the world or to history
In the US, there is a structural electoral deficit for mainly urban voters in favor of small-d democracy and more progressive approaches, vs more authoritarian approaches, both because of the Electoral College in presidential elections and gerrymandering in other elections. Only when there is a greater wave of voting do candidates slightly favoring the people (vs corporations & authoritarians) get elected. See 2008, 2020. These had substantially greater overall and youth turnout. When the overall and youth turnout is low, the better motivated right-wing and often elder voters still turn out and they win.
Seriously, just read something on the issue before posting such generic nonsense - it's not clever. If you have am actual question, post that.
