This is one of the issues with democracy: people vote in their own interests.

I vote for pro 2SLGBTQ+ issues, and am none of those things, so how does that square exactly? I vote for help for the unhoused, but am housed, how does that square?

this is the problem with democracy in a culturally fragmented nation. Without shared values and a sense of camaraderie, people don’t vote altruistically, but self-interestedly.

You seriously need to back this up with something, you can't just say 'we're culturally fragmented, have no shared values' as some sort of 'known'.
