1. Abolishing the Electoral College and going to a Instant Runoff Voting system.
2. I would prefer to get rid of the Senate entirely, but failing that I would add national seats and get rid of the filibuster. I would use Instant Runoff Voting as well.
3. Create multi-member districts for House elected by Instant Runoff Voting.
This would allow for a multi party system. It hopefully would reduce negative/divisive campaigning and promote compromise.
Consider moving away from party primaries toward CA or LA top two runoff general election systems. This removes the threat of being primaried by OAC or The Donald, so moves elected officials away from the median primary voter and toward the median GE voter. It also makes it very difficult to defeat incumbents, so it might be accompanied by a sunshine provision, allowing for a return to party primaries if voters desire after experiencing an alternative. This could be done on a state-by-state basis without draconian changes.
three things need to happen: #1 ensure everyone can vote. #2 implement a taxation system that reduces the distance between the rich and the poor. #3 use the tax money to significantly improve the lives of the poor. how am i doing?
Hi Elliott,
Here are three major things that could help.
1. Abolishing the Electoral College and going to a Instant Runoff Voting system.
2. I would prefer to get rid of the Senate entirely, but failing that I would add national seats and get rid of the filibuster. I would use Instant Runoff Voting as well.
3. Create multi-member districts for House elected by Instant Runoff Voting.
This would allow for a multi party system. It hopefully would reduce negative/divisive campaigning and promote compromise.
