But we're a sort of Democracy. Representative Democracy to be specific.
Pedes in California have their local demands met cause they elect based sheriffs and councilmen. State no, Federally yes. That's the flaws within a Representative Democracy. First past the post is basically the only way to go because each space has it's own candidates.
I would personally like to move to a proportional Democracy rather than first past the post. It would motivate more conservatives to vote in blue states as their votes would still count towards the state's distribution of senators, house members and electors.
This proportionality would also allow a third party to rise more easily. So we could actually launch that .Win party or the Lion party or the Trump party and get into office based on the vote share distribution system.
It would essentially work like this. Each party hands in a list of candidates for the election. The amount of votes they get divided by the total amount of votes gives back a percentage. This percentage is the seats they can fill with their own officials. So 15% of the vote = 15% of the 80 or 40 seats. 12 and 6 respectively.
Now the flaws in this system are obvious. This is a party system and will require compromise. The parties are now what is used to represent people and no longer with the districts, which could still function for local elections.
The best solution I have yet to ever encounter was to simple repeal all this universal suffrage nonsense and make it so only net-taxpayers vote.
