I’ve realized over the last few months that the majority of elections are solely based off the number of signatures a candidate has. Many people do not examine the policies of a candidate and instead ‘follow the crowd’. I just wanted some other opinions.
actually, it comes down to voting so i mean. you can’t really force people to read a speech, if they like the candidate without reading the speech, they’ll just support
theres really no way u can change it, it is expected that the citizens vote for whom they trust, but that turns into a popularity contest very quickly.
the way the greeks tried to solve it back in their time was by limiting the number of voters to those with assets but that’s just uncool and restricts many others from the right of voting so unless you want to go back to voting only if you have property you’re left with this system
much like potatoes said, elections are just based off popularity, now i get that. but most people base it solely on popularly, not ability.
i wouldn’t vote for someone that has been in firestone for 3 weeks and doesn’t know anyone, either.
