electoralism would be infinitely more engaging if kind-vladimir-ilyich was an actionable option

in the event that this happens the government must contract yamagami to forge a new doohickey for the ceremony

I agree with this. There should be an "uncommitted" option on the ballot for all national elections, and if it gets the most votes then the election has to be held again with new candidates.

As long as people subscribe to the philosophy of lesser evilism, voting "uncommitted" isn't going to make much of a difference as the masses will vote out of fear.

Luckily people are starting to see through the bullshit.

the constitution says legally binding that in that case the government must dissolve and we all must try anarchism for a while.

Like the North Korean system of picking a new guy to run if the previous guy didn't get enough votes (imagine if not voting was a vote for "Uncommitted"!).

joker-che It's not about winning. It's about sending a messaage...or at least a message that doesn't entail adventure-time and felony charges.

I read a sci fi novel where politicians got executed if their proposed legislation didn't get passed. They also got merced if they didn't propose legislation

That's a bit too rough... they should be sent to town-style gulags, where they can live normal lives, (eg. labor and self-educate) and atone for their sins in the extreme blistering heat or the crunching snow....

Yes, but in Amerikkka especially the executions should also happen if uncommitted option does not win

seeing that happen would truly give us the most important erection of our lifetime

That can easily be done by employing one of the many thousands of American tweakers.
