If he bought up a legitimate point, then let’s address the point. Lixy happens to live in Sweden, and he notices that even there, in a socialist country, voter turnout is over 80 percent.
In Japan, which is practically a communist country, voter turnout has historically been between 70 and 90 percent, although it has been in decline recently.
In the United States, Let us assume that 50 percent of the population is eligible to vote. If only 50 percent of eligible voters shows up at the ballots for a general election, and the candidate receives just over 50 percent of the vote, that means that a little over 12 percent of the population of the US has decided the fate of the world.
Is this democracy?
I’m confused. Lixy brought up a good point and everyone focuses in on Sweden?[/quote]
He did? Where?
