I've determined that all this political bullshit and none sense needs to go away. I know that nothing would get done in the scenario I am about to suggest, but it would ease up on all this political positioning almost an entire year before an election takes place: Just alternate. Think about it. Every six years go to another political party for president. Extend the years in office from four to six years that way something might actually get done (HA) and kick them the hell out and let the other party take over for six years.
And to completely do away with all the campaigning, make the previous president pick two candidates, both from the opposite party. These two candidates would be approved by congress and senate and then the people would vote. Because politicians are egocentric, they are going to want to be known as 'the president who picked two good candidates' not the guy who is best known for 'picking those two guys that were horrible'. This would also bring the political left and right closer together because the previous president would (I assume) try to pick someone just like him to get more of their agenda done, but because he would have to choose from the other party, that candidate would have to be close to the former on the political scale, so they would get closer and closer to the middle. Make sense? I hope so because that isn't getting explained again.
I just can't stand people who walk in on voting day and vote based on political party. It doesn't make any sense, but they are blind and stupid if they vote straight ticket. This kind of system would make people stop and think about who they vote for. It doesn't matter to some people if a candidate wants to burn down all the schools or put babies on rotisseries, they would vote for them because they are part of their political party.
Stop and listen to what politicians are really saying, not what they are spoon feeding you. And don't be afraid to look to the left or the right when considering your options.
