Sometimes voting works at a local level. Logically, the smaller the amount of constituents the more likely their wishes will be fulfilled. At a national level voting is of course a national smokescreen, a game show. EDIT: if whoever runs this account reads this, you should start putting the author's name in the text copy that you c/p over to hubski.So if voting didn’t work this time, it will never work. My God, it doesn’t even work at the local level, with city and county governments where the functionaries at City Hall and in the County Courthouse represent only a few thousand people each. Even at the local level, governments are so captive to inside business interests as to be virtually immune to popular control.
