  • The problem is how much power is put into the hands of one person, not how that one person is selected. Sure, it would be a slightly better if we had a slightly more fair way of selecting the president but it would be much better to break up the position into multiple positions. It would be much better to eliminate some of those powers altogether. It would be much better if it were more practical to hold those individuals responsible for the crimes they commit while in office. I’m not holding out hope that a popular vote will be a panacea cause occasionally awful people are the popular candidate and what then?















  • Short term, sure. But again, that a good thing for them. Prices crashing is only a bad thing for some people. When the stock market tanked in '08 alot of people lost alot of money but the richest people made bank. You’re 401k was trashed and tons of millionaires were suddenly broke but guys with billions in liquidity like Warren Buffet started buying whole companies on the cheap. Anyone who had to sell a house was fucked but anyone who could power thru made great returns.
