I think it is literally a satire of US FPTP voting. Tons of money go in and the winner receives a pittance. Compare to something like proportional representation or score voting.
- dmurray 3y agoWhat? Other voting systems still end up with a winner. If you had score voting for the US President, people would still spend a fortune on it, and the winner would get the same as he does now. "No matter who you vote for, the Government always gets in"
- plagiarist 3y agoIf we had score voting we wouldn't have to choose between an artificial two choices, the winner of which having barely any resources to actually accomplish anything. I'm interpreting the small amount of money as representing fear to do what the majority of their voters want, lest they lose a crucial 1-2% from the middle.
