Ridiculous. Polls show consistently that high numbers of voters on both sides want healthcare, gun control, and assurances on social security, but the politicians don't reflect on that. They're centred on staying in power by control of news media and campaign contributions.

When the people want reasonable things and the elected politicians cannot deliver them, that sounds like a broken system to me.

You've hemmed yourself in with community by limiting it to face time and geographical location. A community can just be shared interests and virtual.

I've always belonged to several communities. We just need to strengthen our geographical communities.

You equate, wrongly, numbers to justify outcomes by level of divisions. Congress has over 400 members, including a hundred senators. The UK parliament has over 600!

The size of today's electoral districts are more useful for today's political parties than the voters.

Looking at this through the lens of an economist, this does nothing to change the system of incentives or the dynamics of plutocratic power.

Study the TDG system and explain to me how a nefarious force can take over.

You know what they say, 'A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.'

Maybe. The TDG only needs 1% of the population to get it started. It sounds like you are not joining.
