Who Are You Voting For?

[MagicManICT]

Maybe voting needs to be more like these Facebook personality quizes. You don't get to see your result until you've filled out a 10-20 questionnaire. Your answers are then matched up with the best candidate.

Unless you will want for this to force you to voting the candidate you are matching with, they can already do this thing with some existing websites services. And if you do want this to be how the vote is done, I do not think some external body to decide who I will vote for is a good idea. The problem is people will be stupid and vote for one issue or not even become doing any research at all. Most voters I think will be uninformed, despite the cyberweb being a thing they will use every day.

Therein lies the problem. I mean make it mandatory. Who gets to decide? How do you prevent manipulation of the voter base? I had seen some of those before, but the results, much like matching you to your astrological sign, are interpretive.

Then again, I'm probably experiencing wishful thinking as the people I know that are one issue voters would likely still be just as stubborn about voting for a candidate they actually think would be useful. I'm just jaded from spending time with political campaigns and listening to people that refuse to vote for "the other guy" even though they hate the current guy.

I'm getting really sick of Hillary Clinton's voter manipulation. Sanders should have won New York.

Why would you think Sanders even had a chance in NY. Rarely does a party candidate not win their home state in the primaries. Even Kasich, who hasn't won any other states, won Ohio

That sounds AWESOME.

The only trouble is: how do we make it happen? I'm not entirely sure it's possible at this point.

Here in Australia it was introduced in 1918 after a by-election split the conservative vote and let their opposition easily win a previously safe division. In response the conservative-controlled government reformed the system so it couldn't happen again. It was done in the party's obvious self-interest, but in the long run it benefited us voters. America might have an opportunity like that if the upcoming election is a disaster.

Quick, let's spam our representatives, senators, and candidates with letters asking their candidates to support alternate vote!!!

Looks like it will mostly likely be Hilary vs Trump in the main race. I hope to god Hilary doesn't become president she is a soulless, shady, incompetent, evil, outdated old dinosaur who barely even knows how to turn on a computer, never mind being in control of the most powerful country in the world.

Also check out this video if you think Hilary is the best candidate for women: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2f13f2awK4

It's her giving an interview talking about the time when she was a public defender for a pedophile accused of raping a 12 year old girl, she is laughing in the interview about how she went out of her way to get evidence thrown out even though she knew he was guilty. She's really fucked up, yet it's mainly the delusional left wing liberals who love her.

It feels like there is a large portion of the female vote that is in her favor simply because she's a woman. I often hear "it's about time we got a woman in the white house" etc, just completely disregarding whether or not she is even suitable for the job. She will be such a terrible president and give women everywhere such a bad reputation that she probably set gender equality movement back about 10 years

who is racist?

[Jalpha]

Trump. Not in an actually racist way, but in more of an overgeneralized stereotyped way. Kind of like how "Australians are all racist."

[MightySheep]

Calling people racist when they have never done anything racist and you know they aren't actually a racist is just meaningless slander.

I forgot to add in that case Hilary actually attacked the 12 year old girl on the stand, saying she was "asking for it" by "seeking out older men".

The victim actually spoke out about it too: http://www.mediaite.com/online/rape-victim-of-clinton-client-speaks-out-hillary-took-me-through-hell/

Can't wait for liberals to try to justify this one.

just meaningless slander.

Welcome to politics.

tbh Trudeau should build a wall at the US border and Trump can pay for it
