Virtually Western democracies support death penalty besides the US and Japan. It literally puts us in a lot with the countries. We consider it to be backwards (Iran, Saudi Arabia, Russia).
I don't think Americans sometimes realize how radical of an outlier we are to the rest of the world on this and many other issues, including probably most notably, basic social policy.
Part of the issue is that the United States has 25% of the world's prison population and only 6% of Total population the world. When you are the jailingest country in the world per capita by a large margin - More than Russia, Saudi Arabia, iran - You got the question how flippantly we put people in a cage.
Judged by how effective they are right? At preventing crime and especially recidivism? We compare extremely well against our peer nations on these metrics, the ones who have much less "sane prison terms." Right?
This would be an even further step. Reminds me of how Cable /Xfinity won't let you cancel sports package over chat....they send you a link to your phone that you must click, log in (password verification, captcha etc...) and than change the terms of your account.
Even on phone they make you respond to a text to confirm. Of anything happens (internet is not working, whatever, your bill will not be reduced).
Every extra link you must click to a third party source will remove half of your people.
