It is good; Ro’s idea is better. Bring 85% of voters into the process rather than 30% (or who knows the precise numbers, but regardless the point is the same).

$50 for every voting age adult is $12.5B. It's about 2x as much as spent by both Presidential campaigns in 2016.
-
But that's for every federal election - house, senate and presidential. Seems a bit small to me at this point given how much was spent in prior elections. And what about state elections? Is there a provision for those as well?
-
I didn't think about Congress. I don't think state and local races are part of the federal plan. Seattle did their own with a property tax I think.
-
Correct, Seattle did their own plan. We get (4) $25 vouchers, and can assign them as desired. There are requirements of candidates so they qualify, but I like the program so far - available once so far.
-
My point above is that there *should* be a provision for state and local races too! There is just as much (dark) money floating into these races as national races, and they are every bit as important!

The US is not a democracy. Demodoes not mean freedom; it is a majority rule mob structure. The US is organized as a Constitutional Republic to provide liberty to the minority, the individuals (not special groups).

A representative democracy is a democracy. Stop this. You're too old (over 3) to repeat dumb stuff like this.

The US is a Constitutional Republic.
