What I came up with:
Be like many European countries, having parties for coalitions together to win 50% of the popular vote. This will remove the idea of a two party system and give third parties a fighting chance. Have house seating proportional to vote. Have house members be chosen from the state assembly and senate (or you write down a name or something when you vote, this is were it gets complicated) and be assigned based on the percentage their party gets from the statewide election (so say a state has 10 house members and the Libertarian party gets 10% of the vote, they get 1 seat). State assembly could work similarly, while state senate and national senate could run candidates and work off a majority take all (run-off elections).

Yes, I'm actually that person.


No, I've been doing some reading on the political systems of Europeans countries. I am actually reading my comparative government textbook, I am that awesome.

Idea: Screw parties; they should have never been integrated with legal systems.

Doesn't work, people will jump onto a label because voters want something tried and true and not have to research each candidate. If you remove them they will reform.

It's fine to have them exist, but not as a physical part of the government and voting system. :/

Your work must be boring. The only thing I think about at work is getting home.

Safeway. I spend my time thinking about:
How I want to quit
Writing scripts for videos
How much I hate customers
How much I hate my coworkers

Oh and I am a sarcastic ******* to everyone, that helps. Granted I can't politic at people who disagree with me, I just wish they would stop politicing at me. GOD DAMMIT SHUT UP ABOUT HOW YOU WANT US TO KILL ALL THE ****ING JAPANESE I WANT TO GET OFF WORK TO WATCH ****ING PONYO (no seriously I had a customer talk about this and this is all I could think of). Or the "I'm so sorry you are an atheist." Bull**** card one of my coworkers pulled. I spent an hour mentally raging at her in my head.
