7 hour long lines. Numerous voting machine failures. The richest country in the world can’t get voting on voting day right. Its not a big deal though, we can vote early and by mail before seeing any debates. That seems fishy to a conspiracy theorist, and I’m not sure I blame them. Seems like we should be doing it better.
Why would you be ok with punishing voters who arent just party voters and actually listen to ideas? No offense, but that’s a pathetic way to look at how a true democracy should be operating. This just shows how pathetic our electorate is. The ideas don’t matter, the party does. This is why I don’t vote. My vote just gets cancelled by people who really have no ability to weigh different ideas, then the politicians who fill up the political parties all become as pathetic as the electorate themselves. There is a reason we have shitty politicians. That’s what we want.
in a system where it’s party over idea, you’re absolutely right. All you basically said is that everyone is lazy and partisan, so why debate the ideas on merit. I’m not sure how we expect to get good leaders in this way.
