Democracy Fail
IMO we're on a runaway train and the inertia is too great to stop it by conventional means. I've lived through enough to have perspective on our times, and no doubt, shit is going south faster than anytime I can remember. It can't be fixed in the system cuz the system is broken. Hopefully after it crashes there will be enough substantial pieces left to pick up and start again.

5. With a democratic system.
I know that democracy has been made into a swear word these days by you-know-who, but that doesn't mean we have to accept it. Our democratic system of voting and representation is a good thing.
