The same as the average western person.. So probably very little.

    don't make conflations with the USA and other liberal democracies. There are plenty of transparent, effective democracies where popular votes matter massively, and saying because the USA is electorally broken that everywhere is only serves the narrative that true liberal democracy "isn't possible" i.e., exactly what China and Russia suggest.
