    Which is why we need ranked choice voting so we steal power away from this bipartisan system that robs us of our actual choice.

      system that robs us of our actual choice.

      Let’s cut out the middleman and go straight to direct voting.

      Although a president is one of the few positions that I think a country could actually use, even with direct voting. Just for diplomatic relations, cause we can’t all talk to the world leaders at once.

        Hundreds of micro votes a year? I think people should be ABLE to directly vote for things, but most legislation is better handled by representatives. I’m interested in politics and even I wouldn’t be happy voting directly on every policy. That’s way too much stuff to be informed on.

          That’s fine. Nobody is forcing you to vote.

          Other people will vote on the things you’re not interested in. In many ways, it’s the same as having a representative vote for you.
