One man one vote, a direct democracy.

[Blarch]

For the House, the Senate, the White House.

No delegates, no superdelegates, no electoral college.

The most votes wins the WH, a direct democracy, the will of the people.

Tell me ....why not ?

[AX10]

1. I'm with you.

[enki23]

2. i don't think you understand what "direct democracy" means

.

[Blarch]

3. feel free....

[laconicsax]

4. Do women get a vote?

[Blarch]

5. Of course.

As long as you own a minimum of 4 slaves and own at least 2 acres.

[Crooked Moon]

6. 40 states

should not be subjugated to the will of the other 10.

[suston96]

7. States? You mean the "sovereign states"? Screw them. They are no longer utilitarian. nt

[NightWatcher]

8. we are a Representative Republic. we elect reps to do our bidding

if we were a true democracy we the people would vote for each item and there would be no congress, supreme court, or president. It would be majority mob rule.

[Wombatzu]

9. because large population centers would run the country

and you would eventually be facing a rural and sub-urban insurgency.

might be fun, though.

[Blarch]

10. Why should the rural vote carry more power than the urban vote ?

[ElsewheresDaughter]

15. it's a PEOPLE vote geography nor landmass vote.

[Wombatzu]

16. it doesn't... the idea is to make sure all regions are equally represented

do you think the states with smaller populations would accept being run over constantly? or accept being taxed? or register for the draft or join the Army?

the thing that got this whole USA thing kicked off was a bunch of people who felt that they weren't being fairly represented.

[TheCool]

11. No.

1. People are stupid.

2. Groupthink

3. It is vital to protect the voice of the minority

[ElsewheresDaughter]

12. well then get your as out there and change it, but, there is nothing that will change it this cycle.

both Clinton and Obama SIGNED on to the rules....that's just the facts

[TexasObserver]

13. Because it's not constitutional and you can't get the votes to amend it. The end.

[goodgd_yall]

14. You want to re-invent the wheel? n/t

[LWolf]

17. Add this, and I'm with you:

100% public financing. No outside campaigning, or campaign $$.

A fairness doctrine and fully equal air time.

All polls related to campaigns and elections banned.

All primary votes counted on the same day, with no results released from anywhere until the last polls close on the final primary.
