I would assume the people most experienced in their respective fields should get to decide: professors of economics and statistics for example, should have a much higher say in who is running our economy. Who cares what the average American thinks in regards to popularity? In that field-- economic management-- I want someone who knows what they are doing. I don't want a person with a good face who can argue on television.

Tyrion.

I speak with complete honesty here:


I really hope that you're young. If you're young, you might still have a chance at growing up and not being a piece of shit for the rest of your life. It's a long shot, but you can still make it and I wish you the best of luck.

No further comments necessary.

Eh, here's an idea that will force people in government to actually get their jobs done.

1)Reduce campaign spending(Max per candidate at about $100 mil), and limit campaign time(max 1 year)

2)if the gov't shuts down, gov't workers get paid, politicians do not(this is reverse of the current setup)

3)tie politician salaries to the economy(I dunno, 250% median pay?)

4)Make it very easy to vote(voter fraud is an extremely unlikely situation, you are more likely to get struck by lightning)

5)To reduce gerrymandering, create populous vote based seats(seats where a senator/rep gets it due to popular support) and make them equal to the regular seats

6)To reduce the power of the rural vote, make the senate population based, and replace states with senate districts

7) limit judge terms(to 8 years?) and no reelection or election campaigns.

8)To reduce the lack of congress getting anything done, require that congress accomplish at minimum what is necessary to keep the gov't running before going to recess.

How are in the Republicans even a serious political party in the USA?

Reddit like referendums on anything over internet or physical. Every day.

Politicians do their job well. Institutions limit their powers.

How are in the Republicans even a serious political party in the USA?

Because Democrats suck just as much and all other parties are ignored.

to answer thread basically most Republicans say they won't change anything. then they get elected.

but most Democrats look to the media see what people are complain about say they will change that. then they figure out that the way our government works it would take a long time to get it to happen and give up.

Edit: oh and i wish Independents and the other parties got more press. BC they probably are the better candidates then all of these other goofballs

What you should be asking, is: Why does America have two opposing politic parties preaching 80% same things?

BC they wanna get elected.

Because it's a one-party system. Kinda like communist countries, one party , one ideology.

Communists had different parties. Except some were not allowed to win.

so basically it is like the communist system but worse?

You really think- REALLY think- that politicians would ever be able to put people who know what they're doing in control of the economy? In order to balance the budget, they would have to get rid of so much f***ing shit that they US is doing. Tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of government employees would be fired. They would have to massively cut government benefits.

BTW: Fuck you.

lol you just rekt yourself

Yes, communist system but with 50 shades of conservative/fascist/nationalist/traditionalist.

conservative/fascist/nationalist/traditionalist.

Don't forget liberal/anarchist/libertarian/socialist.

do you really think there are shades of socialist or anarchists in the US politics?

Yes, they most certainly are there. They may not be mainstream or receive that much media attention but they still exist.

There's an American Nazi Party of all things, but few people know of them or even hear about them because the media doesn't cover it. Anyone who's not Democrat or Republican is not really spoken of by the media.
