    I think the terms "democrat" and "republican" are stupid. It's just a way to divide people unnecessarily. We should look at politicians based on their actual political actions, not based on their title. Let's all remember that Donal Trump was officially a Democrat for 8 years.

      @mrmattimation I agree. The ideas are what count. Which is why I hate what Colorado has... You can only vote for the party you chose when you first voted. Closed voting. I can't vote for a Republican if I feel the Democrats are not doing what I think is right.
      I also recommend looking into CGP Grey's Playlist on voting systems. First Past the vote is not working for us. And ,has lead to personal and political divides that go deep.

        @metaltao FPPT does not work for any large group of votes. People are to diffrent and the results do not reflect the votes. In the UK the Conservatives have over 52% of the seats from 22% of the votes

          @vcgriffin Oh god, I read about that, there was also the time where the UK didn;t get enough Voters or something? Also, 52% of the house, means 100% in Parliament.

            @metaltao It means total control yea. (we don't have turn out limits. Unless you are worker voting for strike action, and then you have turnout quotas)
