It’s easy to say but the solution takes a lot more critical thinking for people to vote ethically or even just in their own interests rather than for the team they’ve been trained to vote for.
Most people either don’t have the available time to research, the interest to put the effort in or the capacity to understand the consequences of their choice.
Simplification to “trusted source K recommended by trusted source L says I should vote for team B” is the default solution. “Surely everyone in recommended team B is a fine upstanding person who will fight tooth and nail for my best interests?”
Most people need to be engaged and critical or the system defaults to whoever controls the trusted sources.
