I get similarly laughed at for suggesting that America has such a big global impact that maybe everyone should get to vote.

Well, if you want to join the Union, we're always accepting new territories.

If your lucky, we'll even give your territory a seat in Congress. Not a voting seat, but a seat. Good luck getting a vote for president though (although Puerto Rico does get to vote in the primaries).

Global union without borders? Yes please. How do we get there?
