The majority of Americans are morons who would vote for anything they want without regard for cost. Look at California's ballot initiatives.
Fact of the matter is that the president and senate should not be elected by the masses. The masses need to vote for local control up through their state legislature. After that, the States should vote for their representatives: the senate and the president.
At the same time some small group of self-starters should act as citizen journalists to actually keep these people accountable. For too long the powers that be have the media running cover for them. New organizations and individuals on YouTube and other media sites are showing how corrupt the government is. We need to take them seriously, still confirming their validity.
Finally, reform the US House so that it has the appropriate size for equal population representation. California needs more seats in the House. So do other States.
- mdorazio 4y agoI agree except for the journalism part. The last decade has shown that even when faced with proof of corruption, a large percentage of people will happily rationalize away bad things to maintain support of their favored party/representative. I think a better alternative would be publicly funded campaigns + term limits.
