So you're going to have federal elections at least every other year. New Jersey & Virginia, for reasons I have no interest in knowing, have their gubernatorial elections of "off years" so they're being talked about since nothing else is happening. But they still only elect a governor every four years.
Ya citizens, you always voting on people. You never stop. Vote vote vote. You guys love to vote. Not just for Washington. Its really weird. We hate voting in Canada, we accept one way or the other we are getting the shaft so really its just do you want it to the right or the left. We give people majorities so we don't have to vote for a while.
Actually, Americans hate voting. Our turnout is terrible. Probably less than 30% of registered voters in my district voted this Tuesday, and a minority of people are registered voters.
And yeah, the problem with looking at liberty exclusively at the small scale is that we have a society based on "liberty of all" not "liberty to the majority."
You aren't free to oppress someone else, because under the foundational rules of our government system, that individual has the right to be free, e.g., un-oppressed.
It's literally the same reason you aren't at liberty to murder someone, kidnap them, etc. Your right to freedom doesn't supersede someone else's right to live free.
