how to fix our polarization?
Hey Folks,
I am pretty sick of this election and all the crap coming out of it. I am going to try and move past it by thinking about what our country needs to end this polarization of parties.
My first thought, at least here in Colorado, is to change the laws regarding the primary elections. In Colorado, you can only vote in the primary for the party in which you are registered. You can only register in one party. I think a person should be able to vote in every parties primary. I believe this would eliminate the fringe extremes and pull everyone back to center.
Next would be campaign funding reform. Money should only be allowed to be donated from people, not from business and absolutely nothing from foreign interests. Limits should also be imposed as to how much money a person can donate. Maybe $10,000?
lastly would be the delegates from the primaries. In Colorado, winner takes all. I think they should be split as a percentage to reflect the vote.
What do you folks think?
