Ranked choice voting would help, but I like that "throw the bum out" option mentioned here.
Showerthoughts
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.
I agree ranked choice voting would be nice. But i think the american people can get behind someone if they know they plan to smite him for it later.
He should march the military into congress and arrest those dirty politicians. Democracy is evil and needs to be wiped out.
(Joking)
I don't think the president could unilaterally implement this, but it would be nice to be able to vote a president out of office if they're really fucking things up.
It is called an impeachment and it shouldn't be used willy nilly
That's not really in the hands of the people though.
Well you do vote for officials
