    Taxing the rich out of existence is the number one way of protecting democracy AND combatting misinformation AND improving your standard of living.

    It’s the most important thing everyone should be pushing all of their political representatives to do. Tax wealth, remove the ultra wealthy.

    Europe is definitely more resilient in protecting democracy as they have countries using proportional representation.

      That’s certainly nice, but it’s mostly irrelevant in the long run without a more serious remedy to the issues the far right uses to gain legitimacy.

        I beg to differ. Countries that use pr have much higher voter turnout and perform better on every issue thus reducing the chances of the people feeling frustrated and voting in fascists in hope of change.

          That’s definitely true, but then again AfD got the highest number of seats in Germany’s last election for example. PR is nice but not much more than a bandaid if your politicians are crooks, which let’s face it they are.

          For presidential elections, yes. For other elections it is proportional. They should use ranked choice for presidential elections but that’s not going to happen in the 5th republic. It’ll need another revolution or constitutional change to fix their system.

        I just registered with random email and password and can fill the survey. So how it’s tied to EU identity ?
