A national lottery that picks the president would be much better at this point.

 

That would be epic.
Anyone can enter.
Random draw for 1 year term.
No do overs.

 

RBG passes away.
Cocaine Mitch vows a vote on a trump nominee.

Gonna be a fun couple months leading up to the election.

I might have to unban A2N.

 

homo?

 

If he had picked Tulsi Gabbard, it probably would have guranteed victory.

 

Registered voters are all automatically entered.
Jury duty is automatic, right?
The words president and representative are blood relatives.
Have all state and federal congressional representatives be nominated by lots.
Winners get a card in the mail that they have to send back in two weeks.
Once the cards are returned the shortlist goes through more vetting by an independent council.
In the meantime they have debates and interviews and meet and greet type events during a whirlwind month where fast consensus can be built and the new congressmen certified.
Every 4 years the state reps have march madness in november where they all debate again and we pick one of the state representatives from their group to be the next sitting president.

Senators should never be allowed to be president.
They do not represent the commons peoples.
They represent the lords of that titanic brotherhood of half-giants, wizards, and stars yet to fall.
But if you wish upon a falling star...
You get a senator.
They are the only ones that should be elected in the old fashioned voting way.
But are barred from ever becoming president.
They can be advisors and cabinet members.
The elders of the rep/dem two party ancien regime who help guide the consul.
But during times of trouble the speaker of the house can be given the powers to dictate.
The bull aka pulpit aka theocratic part of the government.
The speaker/dictator of the house can set emergency policy on the fly.
Similar to an executive order but temporary and only if the congress approves.
So it is not to override congress. It is to override a rogue congressman.
It would effectively work when a president is not doing his duty and his fellow reps can see it.
Allows the speaker to rule from the hip for a season as prime minister/steward/servant of the state.
And be another check on the president.
So right now in an alternative timeline someone like Pelosi would be president.
Oh and the president also gets to declare war of course.
But the Prime Minister automatically becomes commander in chief of the war efforts.
McConnel would be that guy.
Luckily it would all be over in a year.
And the new president can decide to end the war.
Troops come home fast. War is over. Get in/Get out.
A nod to the golden horde.
Quick wars and quick rollouts afterwards is how you build a reputation that makes future conquests ones where you are welcomed as liberators.
People would rather love a rape and pillager than a beseeching besieger with a long term tax plan.

 

if she ran i might stop being an agnostic and vote again someday
then again she has a few bad spots on her too
something about a cult run by a disgraced swami or something who was getting his qui gon milked as nourishing moon juice to help align their prana with their shawarma at all you can eat vegetarian orgies.
im sure they had good naan though, with extra garlic and chives.

no no, i must be true to my school and resist the urge to vote
i had stopped being into politics but then i broke my hand and had to miss work for a few months and crazy ladies on facebook pulled me back in like in godfather 3.
i was having a good convo with diablo on facebook today about politics
and some ladies chipped in after a while
i had a flashback to when i started to care about this shit again about a year ago
got me shook
and reminded me
why the fuck do i care about this shit again?
not like we all know its currently two parties fluffing each other waiting for their turn to fuck the people over
both racing to the end because they become nihilist on the job if they weren't already before
and its all about how far they can take the con until the jig is up
the rats see it coming so they all been padding their golden parachute bug out bags.
but then what?

the racial political draft!
