Dropping the 18th century method of nominating candidates and moving to a OMOV where only paid up members vote would make sense and eliminate the "Nutter" problem and that's using Nutter in its political sense, it would reduce the waste of money involved in the electoral process.

- rybosome 9y agoJust to be clear, to which crisis are you referring? Increasing polarization? The shit with Russia? All of these things? Something else?
- waqf 9y agoRussia is the acute crisis, and the increasing polarization is the chronic condition which may have partially caused it and might possibly be resolved by it.
