Imagine being such a horrible president (Biden) that you actually make someone like Trump look smart.
@freemo well, I voted for him, but lets just say, I'm not disappointed, just angry.
@Zest Fair, angry at him is a valid response for sure.
I didnt vote for him. I have a personal rule never to vote for a politician who spent a huge portion of their career opposing desegregation.
@freemo yeah I can understand. the 'not disappointed' part was because, when I voted for him, I did it knowing he wouldn't be a good president or one that represents my values.
I don't know what we have to do as a nation to fix the system where many people feel they need to vote for someone they don't believe in or trust. I've heard some good ideas but most of them come with other flaws.
well, I say all this despite being an anarchist. but I'm pragmatic enough to know that we're probably going to have some form of representative democracy for the foreseeable future, so given that reality I'd like to have it be improved.
@Zest We need to change the laws to give third parties and equal and fair chance.. Thats step 1... and may just fix the problem entirely. If not it will at least go a long way.
@freemo my understanding of some of the potential solutions to the brokenness of our current voting system comes from this video: https://youtu.be/yhO6jfHPFQU and I think it does a nice job of pointing out some of the potential issues that can arise with these solutions, but I still think most of them would be worth implementing.
