This is what happens when you have a blatantly undemocratic system of government where people’s votes aren’t counted equally so that a radical minority can fuck shit up for everybody else.
The first-past-the-post system is definitely a huge part of the problem. But in the US Senate the Republicans have the same number of seats with 40 million fewer votes. But somehow that is never a big issue in public discourse. If I was living in the US, I’d be shouting it from the rooftops every day.

The bigger issue is the US making states vote, not people.
You’re probably talking about the “popular vote” which is ignored by the government
Yes, that is what I’m talking about. Until that changes, things will stay fucked up.
