MODERATORS
Sadly election results prove every few years, that you are the only one seeking radical change.
~30-50% want extreme conservativism/capitalism. ~20-40% want everything as-is.
~30% want mild improvements like a really low UBI.
<5% want to get rid of oligarchs.
<.1% want to eliminate suffering.
This would be of the voting populace. Which is 2/3rd.... NM I don't have the energy to explain.
Those that do not vote don't seem to vote meaningfully different from voters.
This is to be expected, as non-voters either don't care to vote as they have their own problems, or have a general mistrust of the voting system. These traits are not specific to progressives or conservatives, so they don't skew the outcome meaningfully.
As much as i would like it, there is no 1/3 of the population that is made from antinatalist communists just waiting for the signal.
America is doing something wrong to have so many fail to vote
Australia has 90 to 95% voter turnout
We hold elections on weekends
We use a single transferable vote, so you can safely vote for who you actually support
We have a rule that you must vote, enforced by a tiny fine
The ones who vote are the only ones who matter unless we unite to change things by other means.
