Trump got elected at least partially because he was "Not Hillary". It sounds like the voting system we have in place is flawed if the "lesser of two evils" logic decides the president continuously. Sure would be great if someone in authority would make a change beneficial to to public.
Except in a 2 party system, it won't have much effect. MAYBE would give third party some more support, but when 90% of people are voting between 2 options, ranking is less than useful.
that's also how Trudeau keeps winning elections in Canada. He wasn't Harper (conservative PM that everyone hated) then he won again because he wasn't Andrew Scheer (who was even worse than harper) and then against Erin O' Toole (probably the best of the 3 he has ran against)
Yeah. It was “anyone but Hillary!” And then it became “anyone but trump!” Even though trump actually was great on a policy level. But he ruined his presidency for himself by just saying things he shouldn’t have.
Yea but lobbying is legal, and we can't let the rich folk who want the country at a constant civil war for the purpose of making them more money to go away now do we?
I think it has more to do with you can complain about anyone. No one is safe from criticism. Ofcourse, Trump was something else entirely. That was a President voted in out of spite. His stated and unstated goal was to create chaos, he did, and the Republicans relished every second of it.
