How about we just have two presidents? It seems absurd that moving the vote result by 0.00001% changes the outcome drastically. Let there be two heads of state

How about we just have two presidents? It seems absurd that moving the vote result by 0.00001% changes the outcome drastically.
Let there be two heads of state, and let them work it out.
- hash-set 10y agoUm, no. I think there are a lot of good reasons why two executives wouldn't work--for example, when emergency decisions need to be made such as in war time. Plus, I'm just glad the Clintons are nowhere near the seat of power. The last Clinton Presidency was such an awful trainwreck. People forget--all they remember was the bubble stock market and the fallacy about Clinton reducing the national debt (hint: it was a projection, it was never reality). No more Bushes, no more Clintons. Not ever.
- dragonwriter 10y ago> How about we just have two presidents? What, like Roman consuls? Really, if you want to lower the stakes of small changes in the electorate, get a parliamentary system with basically proportional representation (STV in small multimember districts works, you don't need party list methods), and dial back the policy powers of the head of state (who can continue to.be separately elected.)
