So only a small percentage of possible voters will vote, then the overwhelming majority will complain about whatever gets voted on even though they didn't vote? Sounds like the American way and I think it should be implemented.

The true American way is to be as lazy as possible. Leaving it as it is fulfills this axiom (DF doesn't do anything and people don't have to actively try to vote). The only real way to improve its American-ness is to find a way to deep fry it.
