Nobody seems to realize how important every single vote is on Hive. Depending on where you live, the chance is like 99% that your influence here is a lot bigger than in your countries politics.
To help illustrate this, I created a small tool I nicknamed the hive democracy checker.

Please come up with ideas for improvements, or just implement them yourself. It's a single HTML file hosted on github and served through pages.
Use your power wisely, and help Hive to achieve its full potential!
If I really had that much influence at US election, I would have been able to stop the orange man ruining the world.
Alas! That is not the case.
Greetings to San Antonio, Texas!
Houston, TX :)
Alamo was a long time ago :)
I just looked for a city with 1.49M people.
They couldn't have changed much I assume, but I won't let that stop me from blaming them for everything that's happening now.
Here you go
4th largest city in the US. The city is all democrat. We did what we could. Problem is the rural Texas. They win in aggregate.
That's a simple and neat idea.
I'm in the top 150 accounts by HP, but definitely not on the UK rich list :) Our democracy is not based on wealth, but the rich can still have some outsized impact. It seem I can have some impact on Hive.
idk how or where you take the countries data from, but please add Estonia too if it's not too much work :)
Really cool little tool, I will share it with my friends too!
Added!
Awesome, thanks!!
I'll show them this at the voting booth next time, hopefully I can get that number a bit higher too by that time xD

How did you do the math behind?
votes = user_HP * country.eligible_voters / total_HP
Hmm, why are you multiplying the user's HP by the number of eligible voters in the country?
So I can divide by total HP.
This must be AI...
Hmm, I don't understand the logic behind that math.
I would think you would calculate it something like this:
weight_of_1_HP = 1 / total_HP
weight_of_1_vote_for_country = 1 / country.eligible_voters
weight_of_1_HP_for_country = weight_of_1_HP / weight_of_1_vote_for_country
account_HP_vote_weight_compared_to_country = account_HP * weight_of_1_HP_for_country
I see what you did there.
(1 / total_HP) / (1 / country.eligible_voters) = country.eligible_voters / total_HP
And is responsible for a lot less theft, murder, and destruction.
The title of your post says it all.
I just wrote something right now that, somehow, matches with this subject: https://peakd.com/hive-148441/@wiseagent/hive-the-echo-you-spread-defines-who-you-are-kgg (in case you, or someone else want to read it).
All most equal to a million people, I could win a seat in our constituency :)
I am not sure what to make of this, I was more interested in your code than what it does.., being javascript.. and me being very inexperienced in the language. I took a copy for posterity.. thanks!
Only 47,000,000 eligible voters in the UK, is your data for all the other counties accurate?
The applet picked the UK for me, another interesting bit of code. It checks, and uses the US.., if it can't determine where you are.
I suspect you might see some 'simple sites' from me appearing in the future.
I have not checked the data for accuracy, what I saw seemed okay, but the list is AI generated, don't expect it to be correct and please report errors.
I got a bit confused when comparing countries, then I understood you are formatting the result to country locale. Cool tool!
I got really confused too, never saw the indian number format before.
This tool is very interesting.
Nobody?
Lots of people realize and work daily to build their stake in freedomland. It's just that we have to share the world with lots of dumb people too. It is what it is.
Voter apathy is a thing on DPoS systems (unfortunately).
You're spot on. "nobody" was an exaggeration for attention.
Too many look at a few whales and think they can't influence anything anyways, without realizing how much power they really have.
Ah Hive certainly feels more democratic. I am as valuable as the 7422 people who voted in the Turkish elections 😂
That's a very low bar right now unfortunately :(
I like this little tool, but it compares two different voting systems. The idea is neat though for those who think better in the "one person one vote" system, to better understand their power on Hive governance.
I could say that for Brazil this is very fanciful LOL. I could be 1000 people, that supposedly a strange phenomenon would happen and the voter who has given money to receive votes wins. That's reality
Herrschaftsorganisation auf Grundlage der Partizipation. Bis zu diesem Punkt kann ich einen Zusammenhang zwischen Hive und Demokratie ansatzweise nachvollziehen. Tiefgründigere Recherchen lassen allerdings erhebliche Zweifel aufkommen.
Governance organisation based on participation. To this point, I can partially understand the connection between hive and democracy. But more in-depth research raises considerable doubts.
It would be nice if you published the results of that research instead of just bringing up the same unsubstantiated claims that made me think about this analogy in the first place.
Es verwundert mich doch sehr, dass du im ersten Teil deines Satzes monierst, von mir nicht mit Fakten beliefert worden zu sein, die meinen Zweifel an einer echten Verbindung zwischen Demokratie und Hive untermauern, aber dann doch im Anschluss bekundest, es handele sich bei meinem Kommentar lediglich (ohnehin) nur um unbegründete Behauptungen. Wo kann ich jene Behauptung nachschlagen?
I asked for the results of your in-depth research, not another bullshit commentary that doesn't contain any facts.
