An Idea

[presonorek]

So, you are against democracy? That's that thing where people vote.

In presidential elections, yes. In selecting judges, yes.

I’m cool with other types of races. Presidential races just turns my fellow citizens into idiots and I don’t like it. I’d give up a little democracy to live around sane people.

You're assuming that if you give up democracy you will still have a democracy.

Do you think it is normal how people respond to presidential candidates?

Why do you think people don’t get as rabid and foolish about other elected politicians?

I don’t really need democracy. I don’t mind it.

Wouldn’t there be less cheating

A ‘solution’ in search of a ‘problem’ that doesn’t exist.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Some states have better cheating cultures. Pennsylvania comes to mind.

There’s no such thing as ‘cheating cultures,’ that’s a lie.

Some people said penicillin didn’t exist. I guess they didn’t care until they had the sniffles.

So, Lauren Boebert gets to select a President and I don’t

You don’t get to select a president under the current process; the states do.

The OP wants to take the current un-democratic, anti-majoritarian process and make it even more un-democratic and anti-majoritarian.

Again you don’t understand the mathematics of Gerrymandering

You can slice the city into small parts and combine those parts with larger areas of the opposing city

You can put all of your opponents into one district, leaving the others for yourself

And you can do what Florida does – separate minority voters out into white majority districts, ensuring no candidate of color (Democratic candidates) are elected in those districts.

Then you should move to Russia. They actually have a democracy but you don't have to worry about the fight for president. Putin's opponents don't really create divisiveness for long before something happens to them so there isn't the fighting that we have here.

Couldn’t do that till the TRUMPCourt ended civil rights protections
