Interesting premise to help with election partisanship


Jul 6, 2020, 11:26 AM

I was listening to an old Adam Carolla podcast yesterday (great show, btw) from about 10 years ago where he was interviewing Jesse Ventura. Jesse raised a great point, and before anyone gets riled up, I’m sure it’s not a new concept and has probably been discussed here before—I just don’t remember considering it for a long time.

It’s was simple. One of the things killing our system is the “go team go” approach where people care more about party than personal politics, to the point of party line voting with no clue about the person behind the name.

The solution was just remove any trace of party affiliation from the voting ballot. For each election it would just have the person’s name and nothing more. Are there ways around it? Sure, but for most people you’ll either be forced to pick someone at random or actually educate yourself on the people you are voting for.

Like I said, probably not a new concept, but so simple it’s brilliant

I wouldn't be against that, of course...


Jul 6, 2020, 11:32 AM

But, really, all one would have to do is know enough about the candidate to know what party he/she is in. I think even the most extreme casual voters probably don't need to be told on a ballot which candidate represents the two major parties. In other words, it wouldn't really force anyone to learn much of anything about the candidates.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

The "team mentality" will only be broken


Jul 6, 2020, 11:37 AM

by people choosing to not take up that mentality. They'd have to choose to stop watching partisan "news". They'd have to choose to make the effort to evaluate candidates individually.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Initially for sure...


Jul 6, 2020, 11:39 AM [ in reply to I wouldn't be against that, of course... ]

but down the road I think things would change for sure. You'd have unions and organizations sending out literature about who and what to vote for like they do now, but some things you would see change quickly.

1. 40% of the country sticking up for a politician who did something awful/unlawful just because he plays for their team.

2. 3rd party candidates would actually have a chance.

3. Congress would get more done because there wouldn't be party line votes.


However, Congress is also set up to be a party based system, and it would be a drastic change. No more speaker/whips/etc I suppose.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Are you saying those three enormous things


Jul 6, 2020, 11:44 AM

would happen just because the letters "D" and "R" were removed from the ballot?

That seems very, very far-fetched.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Eventually, yea


Jul 6, 2020, 12:11 PM

Imagine in 20 years when the majority of voters never registered as part of a party, and the party structures are gone (no DNC or RNC raising and handing out money), and the primary system is so different.

Someone like Rand Paul would stand a chance. He could never win the GOP nomination, but he could totally form a coalition of voters who right now call themselves fiscal republicans, libertarians, and moderate dems.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I'm confused...


Jul 6, 2020, 12:18 PM

it sounds like you're talking about the parties being done away with or something. We're just talking about removing the reference to them from the ballot, not the parties ceasing to exist.

Are you saying that removing the letters "D" and "R" from the ballot would make the parties decide to shut down?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Nope, I misunderstood this


Jul 6, 2020, 12:24 PM

I thought you meant do away with parties, which would incite huge changes, like what I talked about. Taking the names off would do next to nothing, like you said.
My bad.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Interesting premise to help with election partisanship


Jul 6, 2020, 11:34 AM

I very much like it.

I'd also very much like ranked choice voting - my personal crusade - added to that, so there's a lot more names on that list and people can vote their conscience as opposed to worrying about whether or not they're "wasting" their vote and giving it to the guy they're really scared about.

This would lead to a lot more parties being formed. It would also mean a lot fewer blocs at the national level...which would in turn kick a whole lot of power back to the states, which I think those of us in favor of smaller government would agree is a very good idea.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I at least like "ranked choice" for a primary.


Jul 6, 2020, 11:42 AM

When you have more than a couple of candidates who have generally similar ideologies. The current system allows more opportunity for an outlier candidate to win, even with only a minority of support.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Jul 6, 2020, 11:42 AM

Re: Interesting premise to help with election partisanship


Jul 6, 2020, 11:46 AM

I wonder though....how many people are truly "go team go" when that curtain is pulled.

I have voted for democrats on plenty of occasions, but you wont hear me talking about it at the pool this week or at a BBQ. I choose to keep that to myself when in certain company. I think many others do as well.

My mom was always under the impression that it was no ones business who she voted for and she never told. I think I get it from her.

My point is that I feel there are many many Americans that are already voting for policy, but we get caught up in believing they do not.

I felt the same way for a long time, and then found the libertarian party. I don't agree with everything they stand for, but like Ed Koch said, "If you agree with me on 7/10 issues I'm doing pretty good. If you agree on 10/10 issues, seek therapy."

Jul 6, 2020, 12:37 PM

That's exactly the point of Obed's thread. People are voting straight ticket and thus electing morons without knowing what they even stand for.

In SC, people will intentionally run as a Republican whether they embrace the party or not just to win straight ticket votes. I'm sure the same happens for Dems in places like New York or Maryland.

There was a woman who always tried to run as a Dem in Spartanburg years ago for city or town council, and she never one. As soon as she magically switched parties, she won. Pretty sure she didn't have an ideological shift at her age.

they vote party line 99.999% of the time. So it doesn't matter who it is or what they stand for, they will vote their party line.

Now for local elections, its a little different. mayor, governor, etc...

but for national, i will never vote dem. BUT I've voted locally for dems.

It's a given that voting straight ticket for either party is foolish, and there are politicians who know how to game the system to get those votes.

A political party isn't your football team, and pulling for one is like cheering for a football team that's going to climb into the stands after the game and beat the #### out of you. Neither of them care about you. Neither of them.

We're at the mercy of two power-hungry groups that, when the cards are on the table, work together to keep people like you voting like you do.

Everyone knows you're a tool. Someone would put up a poll on it but then you'd RA and whine and cry about it. "How could I be a tool when I have had 783 TUs this month?"
And maybe Catahoula and I sound alike because we hang out. A couple times a year we go and slum it in Richland as a joke.

Okay...


Jul 6, 2020, 10:32 PM

I mean, I've tried to have discussions with you but it either devolves into this absurdity or you overreacting to someone disagreeing with you, thus lashing out. You have the most frail ego on this board, and you take any challenge as a personal attack. I mean, let's review:

1. You challenged someone to a fight on here when they called you a name. I mean, you're not the first clown to do that... one guy once called himself "stronger than the average male".
2. You started shouting in this thread about how you have a bigger house than someone else (How would you know whose house is bigger and W T F cares whose house is bigger?)
3. You donated to Tigernet just to get your pulse back to 100 percent and so you could TD and threaten to ignore people.
4. You have apparently complained to the moderators so much that they think you are a kid, not a man in his 50s.
5. You apparently now are sending T-Mails threatening to run people out of here.
6. A simple TD on your post sets you off.
7. Wait, now you're upset I'm not TUing you back? I mean, is this real life? Is that really all you want from me?
8. Now you think I created a new username to... do exactly what I already do with this one. Okay.
9. You said you were putting me on ignore when I disagreed with you, but then you didn't because you said you enjoy "rants"--but then go into a tirade when a thread like this happens.
10. I tried to make this 14 Points of T3 Absurdity but I could only make it this far.

I'll repeat what someone has said to you before: This place may not be for you. All it seems to do is make you angry and upset.

Oh, and as for all the insults you just hurled at me, meh. I'll try not to lose sleep over what you and others in imaginary Internet land think of me. Some of us know that when a person disagrees with them on here, it's not a challenge to their manhood.

Lemme know when you catch up on Star Wars so we can have some real talk.

I'd love to talk Star Wars, First Amendment, and 14 points with you. I'm afraid you still don't get that I never really did take to comic books as a kid, so I won't have much to add there. I mean, we can talk about how much I was into playing with Transformers and Legos back in the 80s.

My reply to you wasn't an attack; your mentality really is part of the problem he described. The parties are banking on people like you who vote straight ticket. Even the Dems want you to do it. The high-ranking ones, at least. It plays into the system. Sorry if you see that as a personal attack.

Sure, you can be here as much as you want. I just don't think it's a good idea. It can't be good for your sanity and peace of mind, and I can only imagine this anger trickles into your real world life.

Thanks for the TD, bruh.

Side note: Richland County has some good people (excluding coot fans), barely contains a tiny sliver of Lake Murray, and is tough to defend when compared against other places in SC or nation (and I’ve lived in those hoods you listed and nicer).

Votes cast is the amount of votes you've made, with the percentage of TU and TD immediately following. So I've voted on 150k posts, 90% of the time it's a TU; hence, over 130k TUs that I've given. Really not that complicated to understand, you're just a fucking moron.

Solid attempt, looking forward to your next response to the man you've "ignored".

Jul 6, 2020, 3:49 PM

"“I think undocumented people need to have a means by which they can be covered when they’re sick,” he said in a CNN interview, adding, “This is just common decency.”

“In an emergency they should have health care. Everybody should,” he added. "How do you say 'You're undocumented, I'm gonna let you die, man?'"

I have a pretty firm stance on illegal immigration, but I think they ought to be able to buy insurance if they want. To the best of my knowledge he hasn't said that it ought to be paid for by the government.

Either way, that's not really an example of being a puppet of the far left.
