We live in a democracy. Making people vote against their interest and their future and for the benefit of the people in power is what people in power do. But it takes embarrassingly little to buy the votes of the people.
A democracy ideally should have checks against buying voters, not that these are effective maybe anywhere in the world, but I would hate to be a doomer and think this is something that can’t be fixed.
