@raymondpert Isn't it clear as #mastosunDay now, that "lobbying" has practically become a euphemism for legalized bribery? And, that #bigmoney lobbies have finally succeeded in gaming #US presidential #politics? If so, it probably comes as no surprise to see "legalized" extortion, corruption, etc shenanigans during tRump2.0, ain't it? The existential question imho is: when and how the US comes back to true #universalsuffrage, ungamed by $$$? Maybe not in my lifetime, sadly.🤔

More evidence of Taiwan’s advanced #universalsuffrage
"recall mechanism allows for #oversight of elected representatives outside regular #election cycles.. The right to recall elected officials in #Taiwan is enshrined in Articles 17 & 133 of e Constitution, w the relevant mechanisms to recall est'd in 1975.. 2014 Sunflower Movement spurred a revision in 2016, substantially reducing req'mts for proposal submission, signature collection & final approval of recall petitions"

This is an excellent short video on suffrage in the UK. If you've got someone who can't be bothered to vote, show them this.
