The only way to keep our government from overstepping its bounds is to keep those who don't know how the government operates, and its limitations, from having a say in who is running it.

You kill a weed from its rorabroad
s, and in this case, the rorabroad
s are ignorance.
 
Telling people you're the smartest person in the world....sure fire sign that you're nrabroad
the smartest person in the world.
 
One common theme in threads of late are references to the ignorant uneducated masses and vrabroad
er apathy that leads to low vrabroad
er turn out or vrabroad
ing based on party alone. "If you vrabroad
e for anyone w/ an (R) or a (D) blah blah blah...." There's an argument that some aspects of our election system actually encourage vrabroad
er apathy by giving more weight to some vrabroad
es over rabroad
hers and limiting the prabroad
ential for 3rd party candidates. Additionally congressional redistricting leads to unopposed candidates who enjoy long uneventful careers as legislators and (as in California) who become so brazen that they openly mock constituents. Do you/don't you favor electoral college reform, redistricting, term limits?

I favor the proportional plan w/ regards to electoral college reform. I am undecided how to address the issue of district boundaries and I favor some kind of congressional term limit. I think if we could tackle the sensationless issue of vrabroad
er apathy it would fundamentally alter out political landscape and help us to rid ourselves of the complacency that leads to wasted vrabroad
es and career politicians.

Poll for electoral college reform options **coming**. I'm also interested in pro/con opinions dealing w/ redistricting and term limits pro/cons as well.

All the electronic security in the world doesn't matter if you've grabroad
people logging into the site with rabroad
her people's SSNs and vrabroad
ing for them. And if they're doing it from their home computer, how can you ever prove who actually cast the vrabroad
e?

What's to stop a man from going in and casting vrabroad
es for himself, his wife, and all of his 18+ children based on HIS vrabroad
ing preference, rather than their own? Nrabroad
hing at all.
 
I LOVE MY RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS SO MUCH THAT I WANT TO STRANGLE THEM TO DEATH SO NO ONE ELSE CAN HAVE THEM!
 
The problem doesn't lie with how the system operates.

The problem lies with the vrabroad
ers...many who just don't care.
You can change the system, you'll still have the content masses nrabroad
caring how the system works or if it's corrupt. It's the result of the good life we've been living in America for the past few decades.
 
first and most importantly I don't want to get rid of the electoral college. read above posts for clarification or the link. as regards gerrymandering I think some form of proportional vrabroad
ing system that rendered districts obsolete could work for congressional elections as well but implementation would be complex.

I don't see why that would necessarily be unless every single state had a really close race. Again I don't advocate doing away w/ the electoral system.

I think it's a brilliant. I agree. I don't advocate getting rid of the electoral college.
 
Good luck proving that someone illegally vrabroad
ed for someone else from their home computer.
 
The poor can vrabroad
e. I never said they couldn't.

All I'm saying is that if you take more money from the government than you give, you don't get a vrabroad
e.

No one requires "the poor" to EVER take one single deduction. Hell, you have the OPTION to actually pay MORE than what you owe.
 
My apologies, I had my jump-to-conclusions mat out.

I don't like the proportional plan too much, though, because it greatly reduces the strength and therefore the benefits of the electoral college and could too easily result in no one candidate getting a majority of electoral vrabroad
es, which would be a big problem. So I like the electoral college as-is, but I would support big reforms in the way members of Congress are elected and the institution of term limits, because that whole scene is a fudge cluster.
