Maybe it's because there are no reasonable solutions since humans aren't reliable as citizens and voters so elites get to decide whatever happens by default. We're a race of perpetual peasants and slaves and the idea of giving us the right to vote sounds nice but only leads to hoping the elites who appease our sensibilities the best will act like a
real Augustus Caesar and not a Nero or *insert lame emperor*.
So we just go with the status quo cause as a 1st world nation the status quo is more comforting than BIG SCARY CHAOS even though if we're willing to settle for that then we might as well do away with democracy in general and just let the elites rule us even more directly without this farce of "will of the people".
But hey you be an adult who accepts the world as it is while still clinging to the fantasy of democracy.
