I have a few to add.
the non-partisan committee gets final say.
good luck with non-partisan
States do not vote for president, people do
mu funding fathers! /s
The sectors of medicine, pharmacy, education, produce, and communications (cellular and internet) should always have well-funded state providers in the same competitive space as any private option. No part of the nation should be without access to any of these public services in a reasonable distance
That's communism /s (or socialism? I don't know, I agree with you, I'm just thinking what the other side would parrot out). Also, mu (lack of) competition! Think of the poor shareholders! (also /s of course)
An exact definition to the limits on the executive power, privileges and protections of the President.
with an added clause that says "if you look for a loophole, it means you're automatically wrong. Don't be a dick"
gerrymandering is rendered obsolete by points 1 and 2 on the list...so that's already included in the OP ;)
the reason gerrymandering is a thing, is because of the first-past-the-post/winner-takes-all voting system, which ranked choice replaces.
ranked choice allows propotional representation, which also fixes the 2 party problem!
edit, also fixes your point 2, because under ranked choice there is only a popular vote (also just known as "a vote", because there isn't any other one left)
nvm, got something mixed up...shouldn't comment when half asleep...
I think you misunderstand what ranked choice is. You may be thinking of proportional voting, where seats are divied based on the relative percentage of support a party has. That would eliminate Gerrymandering. Ranked choice is just a method of runoff voting for a single seat. It's still very much subject to Gerrymandering.
oh, damn, you're right!
i got that mixed up; i thought ranked choice also includes proportional representation, because it frees up your secondary vote to be for whoever you want it to be, without pressure to vote for a canditate that "has a chance of winning", thus alleviating the issue of strategic voting...but that's pretty much the only thing it does.
but the proportional representation is tied to the way mandates/seats are distributed, which isn't tied to the how the vote works.
so if the senate still had the same number of seats per state, it wouldn't fix representation, because the weight of the votes still wouldn't be equal...
yeah, sorry for the confusion...long day...but thanks for the polite correction!
