RE: US Presidential candidates: The Reality

in #politics8 years ago

Many republicans would be crossing the aisle to vote for libertarians if individuals actually voted for who they wanted to win.

The two party system is the worst thing to ever happen to American democracy. The root cause is in the voting rules: you only vote for one candidate. In Australian elections you have to list all the options in order of preference, it's wonderful. That's the kind of voting the Green Party would enact, the kind of voting that wouldn't benefit Trump.

Yes, perhaps this time Jill isn't going to win but if people actually vote with the party they're most aligned with then they would have a much better showing, turn some heads, and get candidates running at all levels.

I'm sad Bernie lost too. That's a bitch the DNC undercut him. He gave a good speech supporting Hillary, how anyone rational would vote for her at this point and all that.
