I think it would be better if every election was for multiple offices, and the top 2-5 candidates got those offices. For example, Presidential elections first place would become president, second place would become vice president, and third place would become speaker.
Another nice thing we could do is stop listing party on the ballot. Just list names in alphabetical order.
Though I think the biggest thing we could do to be "more democratic" is get rid of the 435 limit for the house, and go back one seat per 30,000 people. If we had 10,000 congressmen, they would all more closely represent the area they're from. Maybe up the senate to 10 per state while we're at it.
And while I'm throwing out wacky ideas, why not have regional governments that encompass multiple states?. If America was a company, we would be overdue for middle management.
- idontwantthis 4y agoThat’s not a wacky idea it’s how presidential elections were originally specified in the Constitution. Look at how badly Jefferson undermined Adams as his VP to see why that was quickly discovered to be a bad idea.
