| sethnintendo said: Two party system - This needs to be changed to a multiparty system. Both major parties suck. There needs to be more parties to choose from and your vote needs to count. Proportional representation is far superior to winner takes all. I would vote if winner takes all was axed. I want my vote to count for a third party. Electoral college - This is the worst idea to keep alive in the 21st century. Fuck the electoral college. Gore would have defeated Bush if it was up to the popular vote. Now we have turmoil in Iraq for decades thanks to Bush being allowed President. They say your vote counts... What if you voted for the other guy than your state elects? You vote doesn't count. Citizens United - The biggest pile of shit to ever get approved from the Supreme Court. Money talks. Election Day - Needs to be a national holiday. 2Pac - Changes |
I agree with your sentiment because America desperately needs to defend its core democratic values from the political system that serves to undermine them but...
Do you actually believe that the President gets to make important decisions regarding things like foreign policy? Do you actually believe that Gore could have prevented the Iraq War? Presidents are not the primary policy makers. Case in point, Reagan's foreign policy was identical to Carter's. The Reagan Doctrine was simply a continuation of the Carter Doctrine because neither President was involved in these policies. Independent, private organizations and unelected individuals make the important decisions.
