Controversial (not really?) rant of the day:
Can we please stop saying how either "politics" or "the system" is broken? That oversimplifies the actual issue:
People don't know how to communicate or work together
If everything is a social construct, which it largely is, the root of that is PEOPLE. People have created basically everything on this planet. It requires people working together to do so.
If something isn't working, it's more than likely because the people aren't working together, for potentially a variety of reasons.
Politics isn't working? Perhaps because certain people are stalling the process. Perhaps because certain people don't know how to listen or keep an open mind. Perhaps because people don't know how to communicate or do what's best for the future/collective rather than just the present/individual.
This works similarly to any large organization. Whether it's a corporation, a city, a school - any sort of collective where people are unwilling or unable to work together will stall progress.
People are the greatest resource on this planet. If we can learn to work together, then we can achieve almost anything.
