I wasn’t one of the downvoters, but I am one of the not-engagers.

It’s not a text, it’s a YouTube video… I don’t prefer videos as a source of information, they cannot be quoted, they cannot be scanned quickly. A video demands you to go all in.

Regarding voting: it’s what the current political systems in most countries use to determine which party gets to govern. Some notes:

• a population not using their right to vote will soon see a worse future
• a population only using their right to vote will not see a better future
• improving voting (e.g dropping “first past the post” and going proportional) may improve the political process
• an important political right is the ability to create a party and gain representation
• “first past the post” systems essentially deny people this right under all but the most dire circumstances
• but countries with a proportional multiparty system are still capable of failing
• replacing voting (e.g. with sortition) may bring additional improvements
• removing single person offices of great power (e.g. presidents) may further improve things
• decentralizing more aspects of power may further improve things
• regardless, sometimes a group of people will want to vote on a matter
