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
