@PizzaMan Okay, okay… an individualistic solution for individualism… not great so: At all political levels; implement a maximum number of terms allowed to eliminate career politicians. And; Proportional representation which creates more minority governments (forcing people & parties to work together) and increase voter turnout (the health of a democracy is directly proportional to the percentage of citizens who vote)… more I’m sure, but this poop is only so long.
I can agree with that.
Do you mean to suggest we get rid of the electoral collage in favor of a popular vote? If so then I also agree.
How do you suggest we do this?
I respect the honestly lmao.
I have some ideas for the "more" part.
Lobbying (bribery) of any kind at any government level should be criminalized
Changing from the electoral collage to popular vote
RCV or approval voting to reduce the polarization/extremism of candidates and allow for 3rd parties to exist
Election spending reform - All candidates for a given position should equally share campaign money from a shared pool
Journalism reform - No journalism should be done for profit, and the penalty for lying (including lying by omission) to the public should be severe
@PizzaMan Proportional Representation would eliminate the electoral college. Though I am not too sure how it would work for the presidency. Here’s a site that explains it much better than I ever would. https://www.fairvote.ca/what-is-proportional-representation/.
@PizzaMan It seems like a blend of the RCV and approval systems, though there are a few variations on each. No one system is ideal for every time and space.
It seems we more or less agree on that point then.
