Reply #5: No substantive objections [View All]

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

Any objections to that? I'm sure some of you who actually prefer having money and established interests control and limit the political process will object. I'm sure others will call it utopian, although its technical implementation is a snap and it won't cost more on the whole than the present system. Whereas others will find it very objectionable that this will actually give a fair chance to everyone who's serious about running and winning, and bemoan that it will produce chaos, anarchy... you know, democracy.

There are a few things I would nit-pick here and there, in order for it to be consitutional (like automatic voter registration, based upon housing status), but other than that, I haven't any objections in principal. I would also add in that candidates may not directly advocate other candidates, as parties would just line up a hundred people, each getting their own free resources to tout the main candidate. Also, I would suggest that private groups and main party headquarters cannot advocate for or against any specific candidates, but may inform the public of the pros or cons of certain issues (while still not mentioning or implying the candidates). Other than that, sign me up.
