| 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 |
1. While I agree the two party system sucks, the voters are to blame for this. Every election, I see third party candidates on the ballet. Most people don't bother to even take the time to figure out who these people are.
2. While I don't entirely agree with the Electoral College, it must be said that there are only two times in American history when the Presidential candidate with the popular vote lost. So the Eletoral College has had very little impact on who wins these elections. Also, even if Gore had become President, 9/11, the War on Terror, and the Great Recession still would have happened.
3. I do agree that Citizens United is bullshit.
4. I believe Election day IS a national holiday. It's held around the same time and it's usually marked on most callendars.
