You are assuming I'm calling other people stupid. I'm merely claiming that the bigger global powers at play simply don't matter to the average human as much as their immediate circumstances (job, family, income, healthcare)...and that's why they don't vote for external circumstances.

All of the above (family, job, income, housing etc) need underlying structures. These underlying structures are complex and intertwined with one another.

When the average person comes out and votes, "Why should I pay for other's health problems?"...it sounds fair at a local level. At a societal level, it's a major problem.

Most voters are not going to vote at a societal level.
