    It’s time to reform the government.

    Edit: and people need to seriously consider what that looks like. Especially once the smoke clears

      Changing the voting system is the first step.

      A lot of smart people have looked at this problem. With years of study, lots of math, and some real world testing, the best option for a replacement is STAR.

        This right here. Get rid of the electoral college and make all voting mandatory STAR voting is a great start.

        We also need to somehow end the legalized bribery and get money out of politics, to ensure those elected work for US, not the donor class. And we sure as hell shouldn’t be letting foreign governments buy and control our politicians (AIPAC, saudis, looking at you especially).
