Do we add restrictions to voting to weed out people who habitually vote anti-facts? No. Disenfranchisement.
Do we make fake news illegal? No. Censorship leading to state run media.
Do we have a civil war because it's so bad that people are being evicted and dying of starvation because their neighbors are being convinced by propaganda that they're less than? Hopefully not.
So we're kind of left with this option. We're stuck with speaking with our wallets through corporations because our voices in government have been corrupted.
