    Our Dutch public broadcasting did a piece of how small the group that actually impact the selection actually is. It’s so mindboggingly small for a country which such an idiocratically large, worldwide impact.

    A little over 30.000 Americans deciding the impact for the whole world (whose sheer reach I absolutely hate) was where they ended up on.

    In the Netherlands, a vote of mine and 69.000 others on one specific person means they’re in the (Dutch equivalent of the) House. This happens quite a lot more often than one would expect.
