RE: Blockchain & Elections (Venezuela Chapter)
Thank you for being so sincere and human when writing your thoughts dear @wakeupkitty.
I have identified a lot with your approaches. It is incredible that two nations so distant and apparently so different can have similar political bases.
By now even the right of a referendum is taken away by our present government. The people do not count!
Exactly that happened in my country a couple of years ago. They put so many obstacles and challenges that seemed impossible to avoid the opposition population. Unlikely conditions that had to be met for a recall referendum to the current president's mandate. After so many humiliations, the organized opposition complied with everything demanded by the electoral body. Then the excuse was that the legal lapses for realization had already expired.
As you very well said, "people do not count!"
I know a dutch organisation "more democracy" is still fighting against the present government because of the right of a referendum, but the government simply changed the law (reason was people voted against Ukraine and also they wanted to change the donor law and did so).
History shows things will change. Even the most easy going people will start fighting if this continues. I hope the governments will be wise enough to avoid a next world war.

War is the most horrendous thing that can happen. Nobody wins. Only death and devastation remain. With the current weapons the destruction of the planet is imminent. An atomic explosion would remove the globe from its magnetic balance causing tsunamis and earthquakes everywhere.
I do not know what the thinking of the current world "leaders" is. They only think of mass domination. My infinite question: "Why?"
