    The posts you reply to have been deleted, but I’m assuming it’s talking about “taking responsibilities about the people’s vote” based on this single quote…

    From a foreigner perspective it’s hard to imagine how a federal election is perceived for Americans, because your country is so big with so many states that have completely different mindset and economics.

    In Europe we have a shared parliament that works on making compromises on some topics, but I guess a global referendum would be a huge mess too.

      Frankly the whole thing needs an overhaul. Between land having more of a say than people, a structure for congress that hasn’t appropriately resized, FPTP voting… Its a mess.

      You can easily end up with the tyranny of the minority as a result.
