      Especially when vice presidents are pretty much chosen on a whim without having to personally demonstrate value to the electorate orthogonal to name recognition

      Name recognition is the single most powerful thing a candidate can have. And again even though that’s dumb, I don’t think voters making poor choices means democracy doesn’t exist. Voters will inevitably make many bad choices in a democracy.

      When name recognition is rigged, a democracy that hinges on name recognition is de facto rigged, I don't get why this is controversial

      I just disagree with saying it’s “rigged” because voters had power but decided to use it poorly.

      Right, and they use it poorly with such consistency and reliability that presidents functionally get to choose their successors

      The VP is a very odd institution in many ways because of the specific way it's constitutionally enshrined without having defined responsibilities, making it tailor made for this purpose of "designated successor" But it's not like abolishing it would fundamentally change anything

      Presidents would still pretty clearly be able to designate successors The Deputy PM position in other countries doesn't work like the VP position and they don't have primaries the way they do but it's still the obvious way to position yourself as the next PM

      I mean look it's mostly that having term limits on the presidency is already, when you think about it, a "restriction on democracy" and one people obviously look for a loophole to get around The people who would've voted for Obama for a 3rd term openly looking for a surrogate

      Tbh I’d be open to removing term limits. If people are happy with the President they shouldn't be forced to dump him.

      Term limits exist in the first place because George Washington instituted the tradition to avoid the appearance of becoming a de facto king, people have often mused that the people have a "tendency toward despotism" that must be opposed
