I think voting should be compulsory. If everyone votes, it dilutes the impact of the special interest groups and the extreme Left & Right.
You know those multiple choice quizzes that align people with politicians based on issues that are important to them. Why not something like that as an option on a computer ballot?
lol good idea. There could be time brackets. The faster you do it, the more weight your vote carries.
Wow. I am apparently a fuckwit: I side with Mitt Romney on most issues in the 2012 Presidential Election. Candidates you side with... 81% Mitt Romney Republican on immigration, environmental, domestic policy, economic, and foreign policy issues 79% Gary Johnson Libertarian on domestic policy, healthcare, social, and economic issues 66% Virgil Goode Constitution on environmental and economic issues 57% Barack Obama Democrat on social and science issues 54% American Voters on domestic policy, healthcare, social, and science issues. Show all candidates Parties you side with... 76% Republican 65% Libertarian 54% Democrat 53% Green
I saw "Encyclopedia Dramatic Party" and got excited, then saw it was about politics and my boner deflated.
Help us learn how to keep it about politics while being boner inducing at the same time, then. It's important.
I see where this goes.. So I did this test and these were the scores. Jill Stein Green on foreign policy, domestic policy, social, and science issues 74% Barack Obama Democrat on foreign policy, social, science, healthcare, and environmental issues 67% Gary Johnson Libertarian on foreign policy issues 62% Rocky Anderson Justice on foreign policy and social issues 51% Mitt Romney Republican on immigration and environmental issues 36% Virgil Goode Constitution no major issues 58% American Voters on foreign policy, domestic policy, economic, science, social, and environmental issues. Oh man, Im 62% Justice.
That is the concept, but these questions will be phrased more eloquently and not everything will be on a ballot every year. Just select issues. In California, you have to get a certain number of signatures to get something even put onto the ballot so citizens can vote on it.
