Dear State of Washington,

Your politics is already confusing and strikes at the root of my values.

But your thread on the Atlas forum is long-winded and difficult to understand unless I'm already from Washington and already know everything that is going on in the state.  Or take the time to read all 129 pages dating back two years.

Sincerely,

Concerned citizen.

Two thirds vote requirements go against the fabric of democracy.  It pretty much demands extremism.

"NO" is an easier and far more powerful than "YES."  So, the minority party will always control the government by forcing inaction.  In fact, a minority party would probably be better off throwing the elections for a decade so the majority would get landslided out after the system fails from said inaction.  And that's when it would get dangerous.
