Living in the US for most of my life, and voting in every election, I can tell you your assumptions are incorrect: a few states control most of the power here due to the electoral college, and everything down to state and local initiatives gets lobbied into the ground by special interests.
Yes I'm indeed aware of that. It's a way of electiong representatives and it has a lot of implications (most notably the two party system), good and bad. Doesn't really change things though it's just a different (and weird) way to do democracy
Yeah, I have nothing to say about that. It really seems like a big pain but I'm having a really hard time imagining what it's like since we don't have that much lobbying here in Sweden, it feels really absurd for me.
