the American voting system is pretty weird for a model democracy.
1. the companies are juridical persons, so they have the right to be sponsor in the political campaign for a congressman
2. the elected congressman has a moral debt and after his mandate expires, he might join the company as a consultant, or to work in the lobby for that company.
this system is called hotel rotative door: on the same door you enter as a senator and you exit lobby consultant, from which you can enter senator
3. US is divided in electoral districts. Each district will be represented by a single person, who is the winner of elections. So in a district, 49% people might not be represented. The weirdest thing is that each 10 years, the map of electoral districts is changed discretionary.
Lets say that the polls over 3 districts say A – 60%, B 40%. If one district is designed to host A-100%, in the other 2, B will win the elections. So in the end, for that region, the power is distributed A-33%, B 66%
I hope that I misunderstood, but what is natural is simple, so then, why it needs to be so complicated ?
