Pretty easy solution on November 3rd. Vote Democrat down ticket.
- chrismcb 6y agoDemocrats are part of the problem. The solution isn't to vote democrat or republican, it is to vote for people that care. Term limits would go a long way to solving that problem.
- throw_away 6y agoGetting rid of First Past the Post with something like Star Voting (https://www.starvoting.us https://www.starvoting.us) would go much further without imposing arbitrary limits.
- karmelapple 6y agoDo you have a suggestion for who to vote for who “cares”? And as my sibling comment mentioned, eliminating first past the post would, in my opinion, be a gigantic improvement. If you’re in Massachusetts, please vote Yes on 2 this election so we can have ranked choice voting statewide.
- bleepblorp 6y agoAt worst, the Democratic party will make all the right speeches but ultimately do nothing. In contrast, the Republican party stole medical supplies from blue states[0] during the acute phase of the pandemic and chose to minimize the federal response to SARS-CoV-2 because the pandemic was only killing Democrats[1]. Depriving your political opponents of medical supplies during a pandemic is arguably a crime against humanity. Neither of these choices are particularly good, but one choice is far worse than the other.

- jhgorrell 6y agoI would agree that "people who care" are a good thing; However, I dont agree term limits achieve that. Better than term limits would be an informed electorate who would vote for a new person once the old one stopped caring or being effective. I think limits are a poor bandaid.
- sjg007 6y agoNah.. if you want to get out of a depression or recession hire a Democrat. It’s a fact supported by the data.
- mcntsh 6y agoI wish I could share such a simplistic world view that voting for democrats is the answer which solves everything.
