    In the end, it doesn’t matter whether you vote for people or policy then. If you are going to be shafted anyway it doesn’t matter.

    However, as I said in my original post, this seems to be a very unique problem in the Western world. Other first world countries vote for people and policy and our experience is somewhat different.

      Lmfao. “Western problem” sure buddy. The “east” is doing so well. Russia, china, North Korea… they’re all known for their “fair voting.”

      Get off this east vs west lie and get down with blaming the global oligarchs. They’re all playing the game and they’re on the same team—the one you’re not on.

        I may have been unclear. If so, I apologise for it. I meant out of all the First World countries, the US (the richest country on the planet) has the worst health care outcomes.

        Comparisons outside of the Western sphere, particularly with communist dictatorships, won’t really work.
