I don't think anyone here thinks the current 2030 year old system of ensuring white patriarchy is the way we should be doing things.
In parliamentary systems most people get a prime minister or president who they didn't vote for and don't agree with. Parties with less than majority support often end up running things. It's not necessarily a fix.
You still have to deal with voting rights, fair elections, etc
