I'd prefer that system much more TBH, if nothing else it would reduce the noise.

- moonchrome 4y agoActually I don't, I don't vote at all since my vote contribution rounds down to zero - not worth the time investment to inform yourself and do it. As long as it's a constitutional rule of law respecting individual human rights I really couldn't care less about how decisions are made.
