Frank, it means that a small group of pizzed off people cannot make decisions that effect everyone else [factions]
A single county government cannot make decisions to the disruption of the whole state.
A single state cannot decide as a ruler over the union.
The Federal government allows for a single vote by the citizenry to elect candidates. Based on the outcome of the vote the electoral college decides on the voters behalf if they have had sense enough to vote to begin with..
Then it’s all down hill from there. Congress makes your decisions for you. It is not based on a chicken in every pot but to reward the rich who deserve it to begin with.
After all what are factions and the average Joe going to do with the money if they get their hands on it?
They buy ciggrats, beer and nerds.
Common folk don’t deserve anything if they did they would become the best at something, join a union charge the wealthy for their service until they puke and then charge them for puking. Then there is no money to be stolen by CEOs and white collar thieves because the skilled worker is buying Corvettes and building new houses the economy is booming and everyone has a smile on their face you couldn’t get off with a side grinder. That is the way to keep track of the money. It’s in yo pocket. The skilled worker or service person.
