Originally posted by Vitamin G The future of democracy lies in a proportionally representative elective system like we see in NZ for example.
The electoral college exists as the usa is a vast federal country with previous cohesion issues, and proportional representation tends to favour and empower small parties, therefore the two big parties have reason not to allow it. -

Like I said, a proportionally representative system would solve that issue. FPTP voting is inherently flawed and geared to polarize voters.
Also the electoral votes are not what you think they are. Yes, its a system where rural communities get more voting power and thus "equal" representation, but it also effectively nullifies some voters. Like a Democrat living in Mississippi for example. The electoral college will shift in favor of the Republicans, and their vote will now count as a Republican vote because FPTP is a winner takes all system. There are alot of democrats and Republicans in those final counts that in fact voted the opposite.
Its just a really fucked system that no other democracy uses. There are ways of making it fair without nullifying voters. -

How is Obama a weirdo? He has great social skills and is a fantastic speaker. Plus he's a solid family man. -

2019-11-01 at 1:33 AM UTCYeah, he's kind of a freak actually. I read his wife's book while Ubering and oh my fucking god all she talks about literally every other sentence in sequence one after another is
"White people" "Black people" "I like potato chips"
"Black people" "I like gizzards" "White people (Boo)"
over and over and over and you learn how race relations between black and white people is literally the most important thing in these two peoples' lives, They both turned down ridiculously prestigious positions to go work for dirt money at a race related nonprofit. It's not like I'm upset about it, it's just... really strange. -

2019-11-01 at 2:11 AM UTCI never understood the school lunches thing. Here we always either brought our own lunch or bought food from the canteen, usually that was just snacks or treats though
