    I don’t think tiered representation is bad if 1: every person’s vote is equal regardless of zip code 2: you have instant recall and can just have a representative replaced if they vote against their constituency wishes.

      Instant recall would be huge in the US. People here have extremely short memories.

        What are you saying, I don’t understand…?

        Anyway, what does this have to do with Sydney Sweeney’s Nazi jeans, how are you not enraged by that?1?1!!!

        You have to focus on the issues that matter, ok dummy?

        /s/s/s

        EDIT:

        God fucking damnit, it happened again.

        I made this comment as a joke, a day ago, and within 24hrs…

        Republican representatives, offices directly under Trump, and of course Fox News…

        Yep, they’re all leaning into this, fanning the flames of this particular, latest culture war talking point, as an obvious distraction / rage bait tactic, basically trolling people with twitter posts and throwing red meat out to their core via Jesse Waters on cable TV.

        No, because the lowest-level voter typically has less direct knowledge of higher level politician or policy than the guy who has to work with them.

          You’re just saying the extra steps are justified, not that they don’t exist. Which is hogwash, of course. Indirect elections where the intermediate can choose the candidate regardless of people’s choice is just regulated election fraud.
