    The same problem is in politics in Germany. They vote only for the big politicians who have already a big group of supporters and so a high chance to win. Like „ I don’t vote for xyz because they have only 0.5% of voters in Germany and can’t change anything by that“ . With this attitude they also grow very slowly.

          In Brazil we use a 2-round system where, if no one gets the majority, the 2 most voted will run the second turn. And it leads to the same problem.

      Yeah but in that case they are right. Not voting for the bigger party that you don’t like that much could mean that another big party that you really dislike will win.

      The people are not the problem, the system that doesn’t allow them to voice their opinions through a fully democratic vote is.

      We usually talk about “democracies” as an umbrella term without regards to how their electoral and government systems actually work.

        Bc changing the system is a challenge to the people who get power from that system.
