When America rebuilds itself after the coming fall I really hope that the new founders implement an exponential back-off into things like this.

yeah, the second time an issue has a vote, it should be a vote on whether to have another vote 'to vote on the issue'... then if that second vote fails, then the third time it comes up it should be a vote on whether to vote again in order to decide whether to have another 'vote on the issue' ... repeat as necessary

Yeah and there should be a kind of two-phase commit added.

Take the Brexit vote: there should have been one vote to say "do we want to leave the EU" and then a second vote where we either accepted the CONCRETE negotiated deal, or stayed.

It builds resilience and redundancy into systems for the big questions.
