like it or not, this is how the world is designed

Worth noting, however, that the design is of man's creation? And, for all the ills complained of in this democratic republic, designed by those we the people have elected to represent us. There is no literacy test of potential voters, no minimum level of education, beyond the ability to complete a registration form.
Heck one could fail their driver's test a dozen times and still cast a valid ballot - or, openly carry a forty-five caliber semi-automatic weapon most everywhere (except where their elected representatives gather).
