The Canadian government has insisted that information on domestic goods is readily available to all trading partners, even including nations that recently elected a felony-convicted game show host to be their head of state. Instead, the United States has decided to employ a rarely-chosen trade tactic that international economists refer to as the “fuck around and find out” model.

I suppose that’s a fair point. It comes down to perception I guess. Maybe it’s best described as “some” Americans chose this

How about: "Most Americans who bother voting, chose this. The majority of the rest couldn't be bothered trying to vote knowing full well it would result in a trump presidency anyway"

Accurate enough?
