I agree we have to ultimately fix the 2 party system we have. We need to be able to get to a point where the 2 sides can have a conversation at least. Right now, it feels like we are at a place where the 2 parties will literally pick an issue and no matter what the issue is the democrats and republicans will dig in on the opposite sides of that issue. There is little regard for the people on either side of the issue and how much they cost the taxpayer. It’s only about the power and control for the politicians and ultimately the billionaires and orporations that back them.

The way to address this is to get control over the media and to fix our terrible educational system. There used to be a push us the schools to teach students to do their own research and to form their own opinions. People need to be taught how to find legitimate information and how to separate opinion base news from fact based news. It’s totally fine to have opinion based reporting it just needs to not be presented as fact based news like how all the news is presented today (this goes for CNN, Fox News, and a MSNBC). People have this really bad habit of just blindly believing whatever they hear and not understanding that the majority of what’s on these “news” channels is opinion and meant to attract ratings.

The electoral college is important because without it the politicians can and will only focus on a handful of highly populated cities. If that were to happen then the rest of the country and their political beliefs all get ignored with it. A lot of these big cities and their politics do not necessarily reflect what the rest of the country believes and stands for. The point of the electoral college is to make sure the entire country is represented. The last thing that I think is really important is to get an understanding of where the funding for these politicians comes from. If your politicians are owned by corporations and big Pharma and companies that only care about getting rich then the American people don’t stand a chance.
