We don’t have a referendum on any country’s first or second strike policies either.
I’m basically saying in practice we rarely have referendums on anything, and getting one to happen requires an unusual amount of coordinated rebellion against whoever the current leader is.
It’s usually a handful of elites who get votes or money and then do whatever. Selecting a leader is already the result of this whole power strugggle.
A leader will just say that if you don’t like their values then you shouldn’t have voted for them.
Another datapoint: how social media gets governed under Trump or Biden admin.
