Yeah making all the people who have no clue about politics or politicians vote for basically whoever has the most advertising or the most well-known name certainly is not a good system. It’s already pretty bad now, we don’t need to make it worse with even more uneducated people voting.
Its called apathy.
Make everyones vote count (mandatory voting) and all of a sudden it matters
The US needs to get rid of the electoral college as well. This is dumb as fuck the weight of a vote differs between states.
Let’s throw out first-past-the-post voting while we’re at it.
Brasil has compulsory voting and they had Bolsonaro (and apathy). I dont think thats a solution for this specific problem.
