Just a minor correction...

~320M people in America, but not all are able to vote (not old enough or legitimate citizens). There are less than 200M registered voters.

Thanks for your reply. There are two major problems with this arrangement. Firstly is taxation without representation. When someone is about 15 years old they start getting taxed if they have a job, but are not allowed representation. Either don't tax minors labor, or give them representation in government, because doing both is a clear violation of a required principle Republics.

Secondly and with even more impact, a debate going around the internet at the moment, because of comments by JD Vance that parents should get more votes, is whether or not children should be represented through their parents. Some people are saying that parents should select a representative for their children by having more votes. I would also agree that parents should select a representative for their children, but via a Cooperative Republic rather than by voting.

The qualities and requirements to run or being endorsed as representative for a party in the US election is not a day job to be enquired, else, everyone would do have the interest to be representative.

Literally this is politics so not really mean that as the republicans have less interests of representatives does not mean they restricts anyone with their motion to be their respective.

There are international scrutinization being carried amongst them to pick the best candidate with the best capacity not just for formality sake but had the capacity to win and build better leadership to the benefits of the people and keep strong bonding of the party.

Not all Republics are created equal.

In the United States Constitutional Republic, the people barely need representation at all. There are about 3 things that the US government has the right to mess in by Constitution regarding the people. These are:
1. Money and banking;
2. Borders;
3. Agreements and contracts that the people have requested or accepted from the US government.

That's about it.

The Federal government authority to mess with the lives of the people does not apply to Covid, except that the people individually listen to and voluntarily obey the government. And it's the same with almost 100% of everything else... even the draft.

It's the States that have more legal authority over the people. All this rigamarole with the Presidential election doesn't give any more rights to the people, or take any away from them. Except when they ask for it - or the short list above - the President doesn't have any legal authority over the people. It's the people who say, "The President said this or that, and we must obey." The people are ignorant regarding their freedom from government.

Most of the Western world uses the Republic form of government. However, only a minority of people are represented in such a system. For example, it is a commonly cited statistic that 81 million people voted for Joe Biden. However, the USA has a total population of over 300 million people. Therefore, only about 1 in 4 people are represented. It would make much more sense to allow EVERYONE to be represented by allowing anyone to represent them including them self.

I have a complete proposal for a Cooperative Republic in which everyone is represented available at: https://caroasi.freeforums.net/thread/2/caroasi-2024

Please comment to how you think Democracy should be implemented properly, or otherwise how you think government should work!
