Good question, actually. Itβs certainly better than absolute democracy, but thatβs a good topic for discussion.
I believe that the majority of the people of course need to have a say, but it also prevents them from ruling over the minority, so I believe itβs a good balance. It gives neither the majority nor the minority absolute power.
can the president do anything they want?
No
There is another type of voting called ranked voting
how much is ruled by him then
Heβs the executive branch and either rejects or approves of laws.
But not too sure if it can work en mass
that's all he does?
Basically
Cali and a couple other states can still have mob rule
well wouldn't it be better if there were educated people who studied subjects and were the best at them and decides what goes through and what doesn't?
But who decides who is educated enough?
The people in power
by like idk being that best at that field
That wouldnβt work because of partisan interests.
it just seems weird that people who know nothing can decide on government policy no?
They will claim that their candidate is the most suited for the job. So just let the people vote who their president should be.
but like surely there is a yes and no answer to everything
that is backed up with reasoning instead of personal interests you know?
but people are selfish and only vote for what they think is best for them but without really knowing truly why
that seems flawed
So the people shouldnβt have a say in who is gonna represent them?
i think the people should identify problems but not be the ones to solve them
I donβt get the point youβre making.
my point is there are conservatives vs liberals but surely instead of people being so divided there is a correct answer and reason why
But who decides what the correct answer is?
the people who have studied how to solve these problems i feel like
And who decides who is the most educated? The people in power. Back to my original point.
It wouldnβt work.
people who are best in their field and identified without corruption
idk i'm going on what's on the top of my head but
And who decides who is identified without corruption? See, the problem is that people will always try to put their own guy into office. The electoral college at least tries to give as many people as possible a choice.
fbi probably?
And if the FBI is partisan?
FBI is definitely partisan.
idk just a thought that maybe who is being voted in shouldn't decide on what is binary
but dumb thought and went on for too long lol
Thatβs fine. Itβs an interesting topic of debate.
Additional, solutions donβt always help everyone. I personally donβt believe there is such thing as a free lunch. Even if someone is a expert in there field doesnβt mean their solution will the best for everyone. This is why federalism is a big part of the US. We shouldnβt focus on who is in charge of the federal government to solve our people. We need to focus on our local leaders because they could provide a much more direct better solution, versus a large government one.
