There is a system better than Democracy.

It is called Exit.

In democracy, in order to make a choice we have to get the collective approval of the people.

For example, if you and your friends agree to collectively decide on what food to buy at a grocery store, and you as an individual prefer to purchase a Doritos Nachos bag but your friends disagree, then you will be denied that choice.

This is problematic for several reasons. For one, you get denied the choice you truly prefer and must abide by the choice the majority prefers (tyranny of the majority), the only way to get a majority on your side is through fighting, debating, and persuasion (which is an effort people rather not want to have to do) or through compromise (such as being forced to choose the cheaper lower quality store-brand nachos snack).

Under Exit-based models of choice, instead of you and your friends agreeing to collectively decide on what food to buy at a grocery store, you and your friends agree to strip this requirement of collective approval and agree to individually decide what food to buy. This would allow you to purchase the Doritos snack you truly prefer, while allowing your friends to buy the food items they prefer. Everyone chooses the choice they prefer, and everyone gets the choice they prefer, without having to worry about tyranny of the majority, compromising, or debating.

This is the voting system we already use for many aspects of life, and it demonstrably works. Why not use this system when it comes to political choice?

For instance, say there is no longer any requirement of collective approval in order for you to live under the government you prefer, you get to individually choose and live under the government you want, while others can individually choose and live under the government they want. This respects diversity of preferences, it allows people what they truly want, it doesn't disenfranchise people to the majority preference, it doesn't force people to compromise what they want, and it doesn't force people to engage in tireless debates and argumentation.

We can have this through foot voting or some other method. People could physically move to the government (at least local government) of their choosing, ideally with some regulations in place to protect freedom of movement and against abusive government practices.
