Dark thoughts, in claiming that people vote against their interest being the cause for an unresponsive legal system, you ignore the fact that people’s votes in the US no longer really matter. This study https://www.upworthy.com/20-years-of-data-reveals-that-congress-doesnt-care-what-you-think. Details that Congress really doesn’t care what the voters want, they only care about what the donors want. The US is an oligarchy and voting doesn’t matter, whether or not such voting is in the voter’s interest.
