No amount of hatred for Trump or improvement in voting systems will ever be sufficient to get people to personally participate in government. Voting once a year is isn't even a start for people to participate in government if they have not properly researched the candidates and researched what the previous candidate has done in office which wasn't appropriate.

Look at Europe, they have better voting systems than the USA, but they fail at respecting people basic human rights to own property, own weapons, and speak freely. Europe is by an authoritarian and hostile place to live in comparison.

Look caroasi, this is the Declaration of Human Rights:

https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-human-rights

Now, go there an look where it says that owning weapons is a human right. If you do not find it there (hint: you won't) then just do not talk about things you do are clueless about, such Europe, humanity, rights and electoral systems.

The degree of freedom enjoyed in many European countries is the highest in the world. Again, just go check the US (below nearly all Europe in position 50?? and stop repeating shit comming from Vance & Co.

Freedom House is a website written by anti-freedom authoritarians. What gives the United Nations the authority to "issue rights" as you imply? Are rights issued by the authority of the hive mind, or are they natural god-given rights issued by the divine realm? Rights are issued by nature of the creation of the divine realm, not of your false authorities. I reject your false authorities at the UN. Their ignorance of basic human rights is proof they are void of all authority. I also reject your false authority fascists, communists, and socialists at the "Freedom" (Slavery) House website, what a disgraceful and dishonorable source for information.

The more scientific and honest Heritage Foundation despite NOT being run by libertarians, but rather right wing libertarian leaning people, issues the Index of Economic Freedom, a much more proper scoring system for economic freedoms, and NO country scores over 90 because we live in a prison planet at the moment. Its disappointing that those on the left wing are incapable of recognizing basic human rights to own property. They believe that a mystical hive mind, a concept of religious dogma, somehow is owner of all conscious minds and grants them property as they "deserve".

All humans have the right to own ANY and ALL things, as well proven by the fact the USA government owns 10,000 nukes. The first thing they did when they got a nuke was blow up tends of thousands of civilians... what is to a normal human being considered an act of murder carrying a sentence of life in prison. So if an organization who has murdered 10,000+ people can have a nuclear bomb, then clearly anyone can own any thing by logic of common sense.

The most murderous groups in existence is the CCP, and they also have nuclear bombs, highly dangerous devices that murder millions of people in minutes. Therefore by extension it is self-evident that all humans have a right to own all things.
