Hi Jaxian


I'll try to be brief.
I think you're not grasping the gravity of what I'm getting at.
If the voting system did accurately represents the vote of the people
then there will be a lot more performance and results from candidates.
And what you said about a candidate winning because people dislike
one of the two dominate parties more, at least they could choose between
multiple parties and not just 2.

One point to make is Ross Perot did not come close at all!
Yes, with only 6 months of campaigning he did get ~20% of the American
peoples vote, BUT (A Big But) he got 0% of the Votes that really count!
The E.C. Vote!!!!!! (don't you see a Monopoly pattern????)

If other Parties could have a chance of winning then I think the news ect..
would let them debate. When Ross P. debated he brought up issues that
neither the Dems or Reps did or would. I also heard Ralph Nader give
a speech on CSPAN, and he laid it out plain as day how the Dems and
Reps are destroying the U.S. .

This last election showed (I thought) that if people HAVE to choose
between a Retarded War Mongering Oil Thieve or the current DNC
platform that more Americans would go with the former ,Bush

"
The problem isn't that the will of the people isn't being followed.
"
This is absolutely wrong! The people are only allowed to choose between
two Parties, so their will has already been taken away or severely limited.
And everything else you said in that paragraph is only true because of
the fact that "If you’re not in the Dem or Rep party there is no way you
can win so it doesn’t matter how good you are YOU CAN'T win (Monopoly?)

If you only have one party to compete against then playing political
games will get you far, but if there were x number of parties to question
a game playing party (From different angles) it probably would not
work.

The Public might be for the most part ignorant but they all would want
the best government they could have. But we can Only sample from
the Dems or Reps. So we have know idea if there is a better party.
And with the current system we most likely won’t ever know.

Sorry I lied about keeping it brief.

The E.C. was great when it was created, but now it's does not serve it's
purpose.Now the public knows more about the Prez. candidates that
they do people in their own family! And that winner take all crap!! I don't
remember voting for that! This is just a clever way to keep a Dem&Rep
monopoly!

I still beleive my solution will bring the best ( or Better) out of people
running for political office!

"
Easy solution to change the system:

1) Eliminate the Electoral College. (Make your vote count)
2) Have Immediate Runoff Elections. (Make it accurate.)
3) Vote any non-Dem/Rep party. (Let them know we will make
change! Shape up or ship out!)

This way every vote counts, and every politician
will be judged by the "PEOPLE" Directly!!!!
