Do it. Please. This will be the funniest election in US History. Make it so that literally only 1 state has both of them on the ballot and that state has enough electoral college votes and is swingy enough to actually matter, so the entire election boils down to literally one state. I want this because I want to hear libs explain for decades to come about how AKCHUALLY that's just what REAL DEMOCRACY looks like and I should particpate in it more if I want to see it differently. It'll be so funny.

MODERATORS
The Founding Fathers always intended that suburban Atlanta voters decide the direction of the country.
I wonder what the going rate of a highly influencable voter in Georgia would be this election.
Real democracy is when everyone who wants their vote to count moves to Pennsylvania every four years.
I want three winners:
-
the one with the most votes
-
the one with the most electoral votes
-
the one with the most elector votes
See? Division of powers, checks and balances!
The Father 
The Son 
The Holy Ghost 
Please let Georgia be the one and Stacy Abrams to attempt an ascent to God kween and make trump win 
"Georgia, you say?" 
Funniest outcome: The election goes and red states and blue states both declare their own winner. Trump establishes an anti-presidency in Mar A Lago. The country's executive branch effectively splits in two - the border patrol reports to Florida, the Department of Education reports to DC, the DOD builds a second Pentagon that costs over half a billion dollars and the Department of Energy arranges for joint custody of the nuclear stockpile.
joint custody of the nuclear stockpile
"I should control the nuclear. Me. Only me. Some people say the mother should get the kids. Many judges think that too. But they are wrong and bad. I say no. The father should get the kids. The mother did her job - big job. Nobody wants to do that. Pregnant and blood... But the father is important very important. And if the mother is too far away - new wife. So - better. Everything is better. I should control the nuclear..."

Fucking please… we don’t deserve something this good tho.
It has never made any sense that states have any control over national elections.
I think it does. In a way it's similar to how the Soviet Union would pick political leaders. It's more hierarchical and distributed. It just happens that every state's votes go to whoever wins the popular in that state.
What I mean is that for any national office, the states should have no say who is on the ballot. The elections should at least be audited by a national authority, as well. This is assuming a functional government that wants to continue existing, so please disregard.
the states used to be more sovereign, all this antifederalism lying around is vestigial politics from the 18th century.
the states should have no say who is on the ballot
I don't think that's really objectively the one way it should work. Why should people that represent millions of people have to be directly voted on by millions of people? Even just in terms of electoralism, that isn't democracy. There is no way you can reach a consensus or most popular choice because millions of people can't agree on something or even communicate. It's hard enough coming to an agreement with input from a group of 30 people.
If anything, you could do the opposite and break down the election of electors into multiple levels of hierarchy, and let each elector vote based on their own political position.
That would ultimately be more like the USSR or China or Cuba, etc.
I think the "flattening" of US "democracy" is more about the fact that it's all a charade so why spend the effort on having tons of elections. Yes it would make sense to just have individuals vote directly for the president, out of simplicity. But that wouldn't make it much more "democratic" other than better reflecting the popular vote that we all think of it as being based on.
It did before elteicity. If you gotta count everything by hand it made the job way easier
The backlash to the backlash to the thing that’s just begun
top comment chain is thirsting over Hunter Biden and insinuating that Joe Biden has a large penis
shit u not
Fuck I hate reddit comment chains.
You know, West Wing gets a lot of flak for the average Liberal's civility fetishes but Jon Stewart is also partially responsible for the quippy smart-ass way of talking that Millennial libs have.
What do you mean, good sir. That thread is le epic bacon narwhals at midnight Darude Sandstorm
All politics is sexual pathology
Is there an emoji for sucking yourself off?
I thought there was at least a hand making a jerk off motion but I'm not sure it got added.
I don't get this weird obsession that liberals have with Hunter Biden's cock
blue or red our boy has the nation's attention

Thank you comrade trump for bringing about the destruction of the USA.
It’s not even funny anymore, just annoying like a tv show that should’ve ended five seasons ago.
Most democratic amerikkkan election:
I don't think Republican states will follow through on this, but Southern states taking Lincoln off the ballot was literally a prelude to the Civil War.
