Modern Democracy is plagued by the following issues:
- Rational ignorance
- Downs paradox/ The paradox of voting and how electoral politics are not exempt from the free-rider problem
- The power of special interests: Diffuse costs and concentrated benefits
- The fact that you are forced to vote for platforms that you will probably never entirely agree with
- Voting wars where one demographic attempts to use the power of the state to subjugate another
