    It is designed so that no matter who wins, we lose, that doesn't happen each time by mistake. Change it? Yeah, we can do that.

    Let's start with a state by state referendum to abolish the two political parties' control over our primaries. These two parties control our primaries process, they're not subject to fed election law, and this is from whence our choices come. I think we should seriously consider flushing that model down the proverbial toilet.

    Let's revisit the electoral college, do we want it? If we keep it, are we content with the method by which electoral votes are allocated?

    What's wrong with approval voting? Why can't we try that instead? This is supposed to be a representative government anyway, right? Those are a few of my ideas... This post was edited by ForkNdaRoad at April 16, 2017 11:20 AM MDT
