So what's YOUR solution, sarcastically ask republican and democrat apologists across our land.
So I've got a suggestion...it starts with amending the constitution.
I believe we need an amendment creating 50 new Senate seats. It would state that during the following election only men and women who are, and have been since prior to the amendment's passage, registered to third parties can run for the newly created seats.
And for every current district in the House of Representatives, a second, matching seat in the House would be created. Same rules apply to potential electors.
The races would be funded by the Federal Government. They wouldn't be running against the big boys (with their ABSURDLY out of control bankrolls) so wouldn't need all that much money. Let all the candidates split a few hundred million dollars evenly between them for campaign expenses and advertising. Advertise the whole thing through a sort of clearing house website. Totally transparently...
I believe that until we figure a way out past the defenses of the entrenched, the United States of America will continue its chaotic spiral into God only knows what...
thanks!
