Democracy works best with an educated, informed electorate capable of processing, sifting, weighing and then deciding rationally based on analysis. We don't seem to be there yet, and I doubt we ever will. It would be great if before voting every American researched and read up on the candidates and issues and then voted after careful, dispassionate consideration but for most of us that simply doesn't happen. Voting along party lines is a necessary short cut. |

Of course we will never get there Democracy only works if EVERYBODY has the right to vote. I don't blame people for not making informed , not sifting, not weighing. Life is short and informed voting only gives you the appearance of making a difference Its like the matrix Might as well enjoy your life oblivious to the political system. Or you can take the red pill and be constantly pissed off like a lot fox viewers addicted to the next story to get them to hate Biden even more.

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18762 | Anyone know the history of Nevada amendment process where the public has to pass something twice to get it approved? I’ve always assumed it originated from a very freewheeling populace, who we’re passing all kinds of crazy stuff, and it was an effort to tamp down on that. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

That is exactly why it should be removed. People voting for someone that they know almost nothing about. I look at voting as a sign of confidence in the candidate, if you don't have that you shouldn't be voting for them. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

I'd actually prefer if people adopted the method of voting the same way they make their March Madness picks; the state of American politics would at least be no worse off that way. "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen..let us give them all they want." William T. Sherman |

Then I guess Mike Krzyzewski would win the presidency every year. Not a bad thing in my opinion. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |
