I was asking it earnestly. If you have a better option than voting we are all legitimately interested in hearing it. Most of those who downvoted you and called you a tankie probably agree with your sentiment.
Government is just one way of coordinating people at scale. This representative stuff where you can’t directly represent your own interests has turned out pretty alienating too; maybe it could work without capitalism but IMO you’d have to start fresh on that.
I would recommend you try literally any of the less authoritarian ones. My fav is the open software model, but there are too many good options and most of them fit together, so I look forward to seeing your favorite in action!
Slight warning: society and a lot of common ideas is extremely fit to this shit over the past couple hundred years, so you’ll have growing pains as everything you fix¹ breaks other shit,

Yeah but I didn’t think you were asking in good faith so I said some equally silly bullshit to dismiss you.
Well I was. If you have no better ideas I’ll keep voting myself until we think of something better.

¹still worth it imo
So, violent overthrow of the government is what you’re specifically suggesting right?
