That consistency suggests the problem isn’t about the people within the system making bad choices, but about underlying structural factors in the system itself.
It implies that liberal capitalist societies, regardless of their specific voters or parties, are all being steered by their fundamental mechanics toward a common set of outcomes, while a system with a different fundamental structure is capable of producing a different result.
