forces people to become interested in politics or at least follow what they do

that would never happen in usa lol. And if people dont want to vote they shouldn't have to

Popular vote

oh yea i know that i just see the benefits in it

maybe because i live in country which has it

my dad reckons over 85s shouldnt vote

popular vote. the electoral college is a total s*** system

Or drive, this is a bit off topic. But we take a driving test once.

That needs to happen every 10 years. Some people on the road need to f*** off

if the electoral college ends up favoring dems within the next decade, i doubt it. But we’ll see

they have introduced this in Australia recently

The best way to do this and make everyone happy:

1. Adjust the House of Representatives after every census so that EC votes line up accurately with population.

2. Portion out the EC votes so that they are proportional to the number of popular votes received.

Empowers voters, keeps the electoral college alive. Done.

some states dont have driving tests 😭

explain?

just remember the situation and time period America was in when the EC was created and then ask yourself if its still relevant

how about a compromise.

each state should have an electoral vote number equal to that of the amount of voting participants that year, and then each R or D vote in the state gets tallied up and both are awarded to their respective candidate. whoever gets the most nationwide wins the election

Out

Tbh as much as I hate the concept of a two party system/country you need a legitimate opposition to keep your own party honest and normal

If one party had a complete "monopoly" on politics then things would get extreme and crazy

Yes popular vote. Republicans have lost the majority 7 out the past 8 elections. It’s ridiculous.

I actuallly think this would be better for party politics. It would force the parties to become more anonymous esepcially down ballot races. They would actually have to run on policy instead of party

Good point would be interesting tbh

Also senators should have to fight for their seats every 2 years. So that if you’re f***ing up we can get you out there quickly

What are your thoughts on having term limits for every elected position

I’m for it. Even with the Supreme Court. That’s the only way to keep the positions honest.

F*** that imma write peepeepoopoo on the f***ing ballot
