The UN did not find genocide only human rights abuses at best. You can go to China, you can go to a mosque and talk to Uyghurs there.
Meanwhile the west is funding a real genocide in Gaza. You can't go there to film the atrocities being committed and brave people still try. Israel has killed more journalists in their genocide than ww2
The point is that a system where you just vote for a guy every four years won't change anything because the rich are in charge and have all the power.
Without having the people in power there can't be democracy.
