Who Here Has Had Enough of the Two Party System?

[Stryder50]

Fk dude, I don't disagree with that at all. Get money out of politics, and initiate term limits. I'll say it till I die. Don't hear you all saying it. just bitching and going on with political nonsense

There are costs involved in politics, who and how do you suggest they be paid.
Term limits are supposed to be what happens when the people vote. Most often we see only about half who could vote, doing such.
BTW, if one is an intelligent voter, won't matter how much is spent on campaigning that doesn't match your values, you vote the person, not the funding/campaign.

so you vote for no representation is what you're saying.

I was clear in what I said.

it's simple, everyone gets the same amount of money, how you spend it is up to the candidate or all adds are zero dollars.

term limits is the savior.

Not necessarily, the guy who drowns out another candidate in commercials hourly day after day wouldn't be allowed to do that anymore. Equal air time

I was clear in what I said.

I know, so you have no voice in DC or your local government. wow, how productive is that, not.

 

[pknopp]

I dont. And I think your voice sucks.

 

[jc456]

I dont. And I think your voice sucks.

well you can't do anything about since you don't have anyone fighting for you. that's stupid.

pknopp saves his voice to boo any conservative batter who steps up to plate

right? Never see him boo a demofk. me thinks he votes demofk.

 

[Rawley]

The solution is glaring and obvious. Stop voting for shit!

How's that working for ya?

 

[Stryder50]

Stryder50 , what's your solution?

I haven't encountered any that would be better than what we have with our Constitution, which isn't taught much in our education system it seems.
With only half who can vote doing such in most elections, and about half of those who do mostly voting for either/or of the major two party's candidate, would seem we get in office what about a quarter of the citizens voted for.
Any system humans create is likely to be less than perfect.



So, just for jollies, this;
Candidates wanting to run for and get elected, would first have to get a passing score on a battery of tests similar to what one does when applying for a government service job, only more extensive. Think ASVAP plus.
Then all those who pass, qualify, get their name "put into a hat" and who ever is draw is the one "elected".

how about strip away all gerrymandering districts and put those districts back to normal?

 

[Stryder50]

How would you define "normal" ???

 

[jc456]

How would you define "normal" ???

everyone votes for candidates on a ballot and the candidate's with the most votes win the seats, it isn't difficult. takes away fraud and anyone can win.

 

[Stryder50]

That's what we have now, except you fail to prove how it removes fraud. Nor define what you mean by "fraud".
How is this not gerrymandering ?

I would use Ai to define voting districts

Stryder50 , what is your solution, let politicians rig districts? hilarious.

 

[pknopp]

Both sides fight for the wrong things.

 

[Stryder50]

GIGO

 

[jc456]

still an issue with that. there shouldn't be districts. Candidates represent the state, not the district, how can one district matter more than another so as to remove representation?

What do you consider to be the right things ?
