I voted for Republican Susan Collins, because at this point she pretty much is Maine at this point and does good work.

I vote republican because I see it as the fastest route to total system collapse. Accelerationism is the only moral choice.

Wooten posted:I vote republican because I see it as the fastest route to total system collapse. Accelerationism is the only moral choice. I didn't vote but I'm with you here. I've been saying for a few years now that there's a few different ways of course correction: 1. A strong, charismatic and radical leader who doesn't care about reelection and forces change. I had hopes in Obama being that guy in the beginning, but obviously I was wrong.* 2. A major rift in the GOP between Tea Party radicals and former Dole-style moderate Republicans. This split would lead to eventual stabilization into Left and Right since the Republican moderates could actually win a nomination and the Democrats could start moving a bit more to the left, which has been impossible since GWB. 3. A Constitution Convention redux that rewrites and modernizes certain articles of the Constitution to get us functional. A clean-up of money in politics, strict laws on campaign reform, etc.+ 4. Stress the system until it implodes forcing some semblance of #3. At this point I'm counting on #4. Hopefully it doesn't take much longer than 10-15 more years. * I don't necessarily hate Obama. I don't love him because he's gone from Hope & Change to Business as Usual. I do feel he could have at least moved us forward a bit if he had a Congress willing to compromise or even talk to him, but obviously that wasn't the case. Obama may go down as a President with a bunch of potential but due to complete deadlocked government, he has a few legacies to his name, half of which were socially progressive (... ish) and the other half not so great. + This should also result in banning any member of government from running for office. Rewrite some of the rules for the modern era and to have a stronger system of checks & balances than we have, then let new blood give it a try. I guess while I'm at it, I should ask for a pony.

mind the walrus posted:Sup pony-wishing buddy Yeah, sucks.  Sometimes I wish we would adopt a Parliamentary system. If the guy in charge of our government could only hold the position because he had majority support from his congressmen (ministers, whatever), at least we, as a country, would be DOING SOMETHING. If the people hate it and the congress (parliament) loses faith, they could switch sides, killing his support, forcing a reelection, and we'd get someone in who, again, could DO SOMETHING. I used to make fun of the commonwealth countries for this silly form of government, but maybe they're onto something.
