    Yeah, I believe Americans who consider themselves “independent” are something like 40%. In essence, Americans are still moderates all things considered. If the US has proportional representation government, there’d be a hung parliament, or maybe even a ruling progressive party because it will be easier to elect a third party.

      2/3 of the country fine with the current administration is “moderate”?

      yeah. Honestly, I don’t think it’s that unreasonable to look at the system we have and conclude that it doesn’t make that much of a difference.

      I mean, it does and people should vote… but it would be really really nice to have a parliamentary system.
