Do we really expect people who are voting for the guy offering free everything to hold ANYONE accountable? Accountability is dead.

I vote in every election, as futile as it is, but the people who are easily confused and swayed by obvious lies out weigh the informed

And no, caring an excessive amount for the presidential one isn't enough. Your president does not have that much power.
Attacker732
I'm not sure our current president understands that... And in the process keeps granting his branch more and more authority.
aromaticfable
That's sorta how it's been five since the nation started. People expect the prez to have power, so power drifts towards him.
Attacker732
That is a good point, however the most recent 'bout of it has been far more prevalent. Until Bush & Obama, it was used sparingly.

You are aware there are elections for Congress too, right?
delpharseven
Get rid of gerrymandering and at least the House of Reps would start functioning a lot better. Senate needs term limits of some sort.
Tritan2
Get rid of Gerrymandering, the electoral college and caucuses that decide who wins with a fucking coin toss.
xmaneds
are "elections" good enough to serve as functional term limits?
delpharseven
Clearly not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_members_of_the_United_States_Congress_by_longevity_of_service#Senate_time
FarkasMacTavish
What is mandering, and what did Jerry do to deserve it? o3o
delpharseven
Gerrymandering is the present participle of gerrymander. Gerrymander is a portmanteau of Elbridge Gerry and salamander.
FarkasMacTavish

BiteTheHandsThatThieve
I don't understand how that shit was allowed to fly in the first place. It's a blatant "fuck you" in the face of the American people.

CodeWarrior
Personally I think congress (both houses) should be more like Jury Duty. Common poeple chosen at random and educated.
delpharseven
Interesting.
Nalikill
Repeal the 17th amendment, and make electoral college votes proportional to deny anyone an electoral majority and send to House every time.
Nalikill
Suddenly the Senators are non-partisan again, and we get four or five political parties instead of two, with less gridlock.
Nalikill
And all of it much, much closer to what the founders envisioned.
youreallstupid
fucking gerrymandering is so retarded augh!
delpharseven
Independent districting commissions. Works great here in Canada and AFAIK California is now trying it. We're not as partisan up here though.
RubyPorto
Finding another way to fairly draw equi-populous districts is not a trivial problem.
delpharseven
Have you seen some of the districts? Forget trying to be fair, they go through great contortions to make them as unfair as possible.
RubyPorto
I am familiar with the results of redistricting. That said, finding *a* way to fairly draw equi-populous districts is not a trivial problem.
delpharseven
But it can be done, and that problem is much easier compared to the political fight to move to an independent districting commission.

You see Ivan, politics men are diaper. If they no change often enough they quickly full of shit.

Senate needs to go back to being appointed. It was intended to represent the state. Electing senators was a huge mistake.

Repeal the 17th Amendment.
dembonz00
However, much to Imgur's dismay, we'd have a supermajority of republicans in the senate. I'm totally fine with that if it meant a 1/2
dembonz00
2/2 complete wipe of all senators. And then the legislatures appointed new ones.

Never understood how public service turns into 40 year careers with pay & bene's for the rest of your life. Pretty sweet gig.
rshackleford
public service is lucrative because it entails power
OliverClothesoff70
Agree in general, but the lifetime pay is a myth http://www.snopes.com/politics/socialsecurity/pensions.asp

Unless I read it wrong, at the end it states they receive an 80% pension after service has ended.

Better than one that's continuously completely out of touch with reality, and littered with decades-old rivalries and alliances.

I think there should be some limits but relatively long ones. Longer than the presidency at least.

I agree with that. 10 years or something.
imgurfacepalm
well maybe 12 because senators sit for 6 years...
jadespider
YOU are the term limts. Stop voting them back in.
Xelada
What about the many that run unopposed? or where you are the minority in a stacked region?
LearnedCoward
Paul Broun, for example. The only reason he kept getting reelected was because he ran unopposed.
Andalite
One man alone isn't enough. It takes multiple people to stop doing it. And obviously they won't stop.
delpharseven
Yeah the whole point of gerrymandering is to make the threshold for tossing someone out nigh unreachable.
jadespider
One vote doesn't make a difference, but the IDEA that one vote doesn't make a difference, can make a HUGE difference. Vote or GTFO.
Andalite
That still doesn't change the fact that me attempting to vote people out of office, doesn't work if no one else does it. Like, pat yourself
Andalite
on the back all you want for repeating that saying, but that doesn't change this simple fact.
nflgeneric
Term limits would mean we'd have a bunch of newbies that don't know how to write laws running congress though.
Felman
I get the gerrmandering thing but the senate, there is no such thing. If people don't like their senator, just vote in another one
KillerKommando
With 6-year terms, it's not always that simple. Also given that your choices usually aren't well-represented, it's more than a little rigged
MrNailbrain
Michigan state legislature has term limits. They are a bad idea. No experienced senators lets them get trampled by lobbyists.
outdoorsman
So.....outlaw lobbying. No private appeals, only in session on the floor appeals otherwise jail and fines.

Campaign finance reform. Only individuals can donate, with a strict, and low, annual limit. Boom no more corporate ownership of politicians.

And how the hell do you plan to pass that through 535 people that loooove getting their free shit from lobbyists?

That makes much more sense. Mine is only 21 gallons so I was concerned how he was going to get off the interstate.
becausefukyouthatswhy
Something tells me you're not from Europe.
InsertImgurReferenceHere
Was it the truck part or my rejection of the metric system?
becausefukyouthatswhy
It was the car with the 35 gallons tank, mine has 45L (approx. 11 gallons) but yes, it could be the imperial system thing too :p
WhatWouldKeanuDo
Cheap gas is such a double edge sword. Stimulates economy cause everyone travels, but manf. is in the tank all over the U.S (I work in it)
reediculous84
I live in Houston, work in O&G, feeling a bit like Detroit right now
SocoFox
This time around even *that* isn't happening. Normally, it does stimulate the economy because people go out and spend the extra money but →
SocoFox
→ that has not been the case this time. People are saving their money, likely because it feels like another impending crash is coming.
partytime4321
Why does manufacturing take a hit? I'd have thought cheap energy would help manufacturing

Its not cheap energy. Its price/barrel is so low no one is producing to drill state-side. It has an affect on all manf. in the country
