u/BusGuilty6447 1d ago
When you look at the numbers of votes that actually determine elected officials or political decisions (for example, Brexit), it is often a significant minority of the population. Brexit was decided by like... 23% of the population. Is that REALLY as democratic as it sounds?

u/bird9066 1d ago
And you're not even touching on things that keep people from the polls. Like it not being a holiday in the USA. Yes, employers are supposed to let you vote, but with some of the wait times and lines ( by design) people can't risk losing their crappy job for it.

You can't forced an informed decision. I'd probably rather have people not going to vote than them voting for the first name on every list or throwing in the first piece of paper because they were forced to. But I can see it influencing some more people to care potentially.

u/mighty_conrad 1d ago
There's a field "none of the above" and spoiled ballots (effectively the same). If you're concerned about "they just pick first" - randomized ballots or "none of the above" field first is your option. And myriad of countless measures to make sure everybody can vote, from mandatory paid day offs, in-mail voting, moving voting booths and so on.
That's about "can't force a decision". Now, about "informed".
Since we're in thread of the reply about US elections, US citizens have either two systemic problems that suppress their ability to vote or willingly stupid. President campaigns effectively start from midterms, so for 2 years you had candidate programs for both. Biden had program simply because he was an incumbent president, Trump had "concepts of a plan" or Project 2025, doesn't matter. You had numerous debates, meetings and so on. For two years US citizens and rest of the world watched US election campaigns of both. It's statistically impossible that 40+% of eligible voters didn't hear a single thing about election.
If we won't blame people, then their ability to vote is massively suppressed AND education system in USA is horrible. And while there exists ignorant idiots in this cohort, voter suppression definitely exists (voter IDs with sternous ways to get them and suppression of ability to vote mail-in) together with the fact that US education is shit (Like, 10 years ago Michio Kaku already explained it in simple terms - schools and colleges in USA are horrible, single reason why USA is leader in scientific research and high-qualified work is H-1B visa).

I don't know what you're playing at, and unless you're playing at Money in politics, it's Always the Last percent that makes a decision, because it's how elections Work. You can't make a decision, unless all votes are counted.

u/BusGuilty6447 1d ago
I am saying it is not some magical bulletproof system people are often so easily led to believe. Do I have a better idea? Not really. But as you said yourself with the quote above, an interview with the average voter makes you realize it may not necessarily be the best system when some people don't know their head from their ass, and there are a lot of those people in the US.

u/nomoneyforufellas 1d ago
What is dumb is the fact that we have two houses that are elected by the popular vote, except one house has a lot more power and influence over the other. I can understand the need for changing the process as deadlocks and corruption affected the senate process, but switching it to the direct election has resulted in worse problems today. Its either dissolve the senate and let the house usurp the responsibilities of the senate or bring back the old process and bring reforms to kill deadlocks such as requiring every state government to have one chamber and an odd number of seats as Nebraska does with their state legislature. We should not have two houses with unequal power voted in the exact same process when you have idiots like Michael have a say in the upper chamber.

uncap the house,

Could help
making voting day national holidays
Only helps white collar people who would get national holidays off and likely already have time set aside on election day to vote, not the poor people mostly in service industries who see holidays as an extra oaycheck
require voting by all,
Pushes a regression to the mean. If the average voter, who is interested in politics, is this dumb, how dumb are the people who weren't interested to begin with and you are now burdening with a decision they didn't want to make?

Just look at by law, what every other first and second world nations’ use tax money to subsidize or fully finance healthcare, childcare, education etc. A majority of Americans are taxed just as much as these other countries but we get no benefits for it. We started out a slave country and never got rid of it. It’s in our blood.

Just working from home literally increased the health markers in my bloodwork. I had a modest commute to work...about one hour each way. Not great...not the worst.
That's 2 hours a day. 10 hours a week. 40 hours a month. 12 full work weeks a year in my car not getting paid just to GET to the job I do.
Working from home essentially gave me 12 full weeks of my time back and wildly reduced stress levels caused by not being able to get to things that matter...like my kid's sporting meets. I was missing out as a Dad because I was off work physically...but geographically too far away to make it in time to be present. And I LIKE my job....it's not like being there was ALSO terrible. So I didn't even have the added stress of hating my job...I like what I do.
I changed almost nothing else and my doctor got my bloodwork back 4 months later and thought I'd been hitting the gym 5 days a week. Psychology, stress hormones, etc etc have a massive impact on the overall health of a person.
Just putting people in a situation that removes intense stress from their lives can often do more good than large doses of pharmaceutical medication. Being able to get 8 hours of sleep, having time to exercise daily, and getting to see your children for dinner every night is going to do a hell of a lot more for your health than even a softball sized Zoloft will.

Boycotts of the most egregious industries? A nationwide boycott of oil companies that have ensured car-dependence through lobbying on infrastructure bills (essentially meaning people can't usually get places without using oil and petroleum products) is impossible on a grand scale. Boycotting health insurance companies works precisely one time per year during open enrollment and asking people to forego a year of health insurance coverage, no matter how shitty, is a damn near impossible proposition. Both of these industries need to be stopped, and the slow choke doesn't work on a parasitic industry with regulatory capture.
We saw that Blue Cross responded much more quickly to more attention-grabbing actions.

Even if it wasn't related to health, why would you be upset about this?
- Higher Minimum Wage - Greater ability to afford rent, food, and other things you need to live, more disposable income to funnel back into the economy, and generally greater financial security so people feel like they can afford to raise children
- 32 Hour Workweek - More time off that you can spend with your family and so that you're less stressed so you have the mental bandwidth to raise children
- Medicare for All - Not having to worry about your family being upended by some unforeseen medical emergency and/or bankrupted by said emergency
- Paid Family Leave - Self explanatory, in the sense that it doesn't punish parents for wanting to have and raise children by ensuring they still get the money they need to raise said children while caring for them immediately after they're born.
Great Replacement Theory and Population Crisis alarmists have every reason to want these things because they're actual substantive policies that might make people go "Yes, it's time for kids."
Worried about white people no longer being more than 50% of the population (compared to the next highest percentage of 20, or something)? Then give young white people reasons to raise children in this country. Worried about not having enough workers in the next generation to replace this generation? Then give young people reasons to have more babies to replace them when they retire so the economy doesn't collapse.
Why bitch and moan and then screech at things that would actually solve the problem?

Lol all of those things are completely related to health.
If I could have a 4 day work week with full 40 hour pay my mental health would be astronomically better than it is right now after literally 4.5 straight years of working from home post COVID getting mentally and emotionally raped senseless 5 days a week in my own house.
Again I'm just talking about the time since COVID. I've worked full time minimum 40 hours a week for the past 22 years. Several of those years while going to school full time. At one point I worked 60+ hours a week while going to school full time, at another I was working two 32 hour jobs at the same time and going to school full time. But I'm just including the 10 years I've worked in my current job which has utterly destroyed my mental health, my personality, my physical and my emotional health.
For reference I'm at work right now. I had one day off. Christmas. Next up is New Year's Day and they tried to get me to come in and not just come in but specifically asked me they're expecting anyone who works on NYD to bust their ass. LOLOLOL, fuck no.

Off topic of health care specifically but one thing I see all over that I can’t understand, and maybe someone here can explain a little bit, but how is it feasible to change our work culture to 32 hour weeks and not change the pay?
In the AEC industry, we bill our time. If we work 8 less hours, we bill 8 less hours. I suppose the argument would be that the hourly rate just increases, but the implications of this would be enormous. Not every solvent company can afford to change their business model to follow suit and maintain their current client base. Or can they? I legitimately don’t know, just my basic math for service based industries doesn’t add up.

We could have had this man as president instead of Trump. Instead the Democratic party worked behind the scenes to suppress support for Sanders and promote Clinton as their preferred candidate. The Democrats killed Bernie's bid for presidency.
I say this as someone who most people would consider 'the radical left'. The Democrats are complicit in this one though, which is why we need to clean our own house.,

I personally would rather work 4 10 hour days, I think that’s far more reasonable and companies would be more willing to do that over 32hr weeks.

Because Sanders is at least a Socialist and at most an actual communist
Someone with belives like that would work against the interest of the DNC donors, when the capital class has to choose betwen a socialist and a fascist they will always chose fascist, because fascist is not a threat to their interest

This was common practice at the time. My great grandfather was born in Germany and imprisoned in London during the second world war.

I disagree with much of what Bernie proposes, but at least he is honest. Also, it’s really hard to argue against a higher minimum wage when I paid 6 dollars for a cucumber yesterday.
