It's not gonna happen.
Guys, don't pretend like the green party doesn't exist, that's just cruel
Easy, one of the incumbent parties commits suicide by ideology
Alternative vote (ranked voting) would be a good start
<:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>
Eliminate tactical voting
Term limits would be the best improvement
Eliminate voting. <:powerful:595334910764515338>
Without changes to the system we can't hope for more than the replacement of one party at a time
Term limits yes
2 terms then go home in my opinion
For what?
That's my point. It's basically impossible. Unless you do a revolutionary war of sorts. But no citizen will be violent just do they can have more options of what kind of cereal they want
Senators.
Wut
The fuck
That's the point of the house
To be the annoying voice holding us back
Not pushing us forward
Have you seen how much more boring an formal the senate is compared to the house?
@Louis I never said I thought it was easy or even remotely likely. I said the opposite. That it would be near impossible because of the establishment. Like you just said. Do you have me confused with someone?
True, that's a solid point.
Really, the system is remarkably balanced as is.
I just want to see the end of career politicians
@Troye I'm saying that it is not only impossible it is pie in the sky thinking that frankly doesn't deserve to be thought about.
Balanced if you consider the majority of people having little to no say in what actually happens balanced
Oh boy
Well, that's somewhat disingenuous
Direct voting now niggers we need to kill the usa.
Woah, scale it back
And save it from rural people like me.
The best rulers or leaders are the ones who didn't want it in the first place. So basically daddy sargon or tommy robinson would be good examples
How dare I.
It's not set up to prevent authoritarianism so much as it's set up to slow it down enough that the general public can catch it
The ability to vote for your local government, congressman, senator, and participate in an electoral colleges gives the voter a fair amount of say in their representation
System just needs to be enforced and quit fucking changing things that are good.
@Louis I wasn't necessarily advocating for a third party. Even though it would be a much better outcome if it were possible. I was simply pointing out how bad for the country the establishment on both sides is
provided the district lines make sense and aren't covering huge disparate regions
And that's a fair point. It's honestly why you have Trump to begin with - no one wants an establishment candidate.
Now tell that to the DNC
