Rediscover Communication

many other countries have multi-party systems, it's just the fact that the US electoral systems promotes a "one or the other" style of choice that keeps the 2 party system around. American elections aren't about issues anymore, they're all about money and charisma. Usually one more than the other. Many parliamentary systems have the party choose a list of people who will be taking up the seats in the parliament, then the people vote for the party, and the parliament's houses are divided up accordingly, with the people high on a party's list getting priority for the seats that the party gained in the election. I think that the way we elect presidents is very outdated and flawed. Most people don't even know how the system works. They don't realize that they're really voting for electors which can sometimes vote against the popular vote (257 electoral votes are not legally bound to be cast according to how people voted). This system was efficient in a time where communication between cities took days. Now it takes microseconds, and the popular vote can easily be tallied.
