The 60% part I think world have been a good thing (look at brexit) 51% deciding things is not necessarily great. It's the rest of the initiative that was bonkers.
You can't get 60% of Americans to agree on anything politically, not in a large population sample anyway.
That number was specifically chosen so that nothing in the future would ever pass.
Can we agree on 55%?
