Democracy is rigged in a way because it is manipulated by media, the mainstream media choses who is going to win any election by manipulating the collective mind with falsehood, it is also a system that enslaves people to themselves making it almost impossible to rebel, because one does not rebel against himself.
If 51% of the people vote for a candidate, 49% of the opposition got screwed, but they can not complain because they have lost, I particularly never heard of a candidate having unanimous agreement, elections are usually pretty tight, fifty fifty or so, and about half of the people get screwed always, every time.
"What is the solution to democracy then ? It is the best system we have."
Democracy is an ingenious way to establish a Dictatorship, the people have not chosen their leaders, they just picked the least worse dictator, to dictate in their favour and against everybody else.
Even if democracy was fair, without cheating through media, people that do not want to be part of it should be allowed a way out of this democratic dictatorship.
We must recognize democracy is a dictatorship, so we can break out of it and be free to do as we want as long as we do not infringe someone else's freedom.
