  • With ranked choice voting they can vote for whoever best represents their views. If there aren’t enough people voting for that person, then your vote would go to the next closest person to your views. And so forth and so on. In the end, imo the resulting candidate would have the closest views to the most people.

    So how would you vote for the people to be voted for in the first place?

    What you are gonna get is a bunch of puppet candidates specifically placed to dilute another candidates votes. You just complicate actually obfuscate the vote. So that the layman gets tricked into giving his vote to a turdbag. We already have a system where your vote can go to the next vote. It’s called the primaries. And most people don’t vote there.

    Instead encourage primary voting.



  • I never proposed that the Constitution should be easier to change. For the past 30 years, there have been no changes to the constitution. In the 1900’s, there were 11 amendments. That’s an average of 9 years per change. I refuse to believe that in the last 31 years, there was nothing important that 75% of States could agree on. The world has changed a lot in that time because of the internet and other technology. There’s definitely a lot of new things that there could be amendments about.

    You say you never said the Constitution should be easier to change then complain it hasn’t changed. Spend the rest of your wall of text saying it should have changed.

    An example would be an amendment on privacy and data collection. Over 80% of americans feel very little or no control over data that is collected about them. 81% feel the risks of companies collecting data about them outweigh the benefits. Source of data: pew research.

    The government is already supposed to be limited per the constitution. We have in there the right to not be unreasonably searched and seized. We just need a court to intervene one day. As for private companies encryption is helping, people are becoming privacy minded and existing monopoly laws should be breaking up other scenarios where it’s hard. Like app store issues.

    That said, I would like amendments that give us the right to refuse medication and not be treated differently in the workplace. The right to refuse vaccines without threat of being fired. As well as more privacy rights but it needs to go through the legal system.

    I also wish they could have put something in there to weaken commercial interest in law making but companies were not able to grow as large as they have today because there were no computers to make book keeping easy enough.



  • He’s moving the goal post. And not addressing the issue. The founders of the country wrote that constitution with all previous known governments in mind. They studied hard ancient Greek and Roman governments. They were almost all multilingual being able to read, write and speak Greek, Latin and English. The were the best, most educated of their generation. They knew the problems with the English government. And with these things in mind they formed a document that to change needed massive consensus. You can’t have one day 51% of the country saying it’s ok to kill the other 49%. That is what constitutions are about.
