Right there with you, actually

think there's many pieces to that puzzle, but it starts with eliminating the EC.


I think there has to be a siphoning of three money stream from both parties into multiple other parties first. Establish alternatives before touching the EC (I don't think we can come up with a better weighted system right now--too many chefs would be in that kitchen).

Fair point. But again, it's really just for show at this point. Most states go the route of the popular vote due to state law or by "i wanna get re elected so I better do this"

The only time it seems to go the other direction is when some weird shite goes down. I don't believe it's protecting the people as it's meant to.

I edited above with a question too, you probably were responding before I had it typed up.

I just don't see how money will ever flow to a 3rd party when most citizens believe voting for a third party is a wasted vote. If there was ever a time for an actual 3rd party candidate to rise, it was this year, with the 2 most unlikable candidates in the history of the United States presidential election. Maybe this will open up some eyes, but being stuck with Gary frickin' Johnson is a bit disheartening. And I'm not normally a pessimist. I swear.
