This picture definitely explains why I was so confused about all of the different versions. Dang, also fascinating to see that so many people put so much work into this operating system, making their own versions for their own needs. Thank you, this one also goes on the research pile.

Am Dutch. I have considered the US an incomplete democracy since I learned about voting in school. It’s not one person one vote, which to me is crucial for a democracy. The US right now is still a nation of laws, but democracy is sharply in decline. The voter-roll issues and Gerrymandering come to mind immediately. Not to mention the fact that guaranteed access to polls has been pulled by the courts. Which is insane to me.
