Good luck with that...

yes yes we know the right has no desire for campaign finance reform what so ever. It will take a while but someday we will have a good election system.

I'm honestly becoming a bigger fan of how someone explained they do it in Europe (can't believe I said that). Where they rank the candidates and then it goes down the line until someone ends up with a majority vote. For example you might have two Republicans, three Democrats, a Libertarian, Green Party, Progressive Party, and Constitutional Party in an election and instead of pick one they list them in ranking order of first to last.

I think the Aussies do that also. It seems like it would lead a more representative form of election rather than our first past the post winner take all system. Still you gotta fix the campaigning before any of it really matters IMO

I like how Europe does a great many things to be honest.


Europe gets a lot right, that we sadly get wrong.  Many of which I'm sure you'd disagree with.  Of course Europe gets a lot wrong too.  (Some of their discrimination laws go too far, such as the man arrested for singing "Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting, though he wasn't ultimately charged).  And they don't have the whole "Innocent until proven guilty" bit everywhere either. 

 

We can and should learn from Europe to be honest.  Of course we should learn from our own mistakes too, instead of repeating them.  Especially if we want to continue being a great nation.

That's some hippie tree hugger nonsense right there.  :teehee:

Slow down commies I just said I like the way they vote, let's not get all European over here!

Europeans are socialist, not communist.  

 

To be honest, our republic has turned into a plutocracy.  Partly because we want to get as far away from 'dirty socialism' as we can.

Lol!


@flsprtsgod-- money is property!! Money is not speech. Don't buy that nonsense they are shoving down your throat.


Also, the good ole USofA had been a socialist county in many ways for a very long time... It's nothing to fear...

Well sure, if you count what we do in other countries.  We're very socialist when it comes to foreign nations. 


Want to fund a war?  Build infrastructure and schools in Iraq?  SIGN US UP!


Want to spend money on infrastructure, build schools, and assist people here?  WHAT, DO YOU WANT EVERYONE TO BECOME DEPENDENT ON THE GOVERNMENT?

 

Apparently the answer is "Yes, we want people to become dependent on the US government.  But only if they are NOT Americans."
