- After reading this story about the crappy Republican presidential candidates, I started thinking. If no sane Republican can ever run for president ever again, that suggests that the Democrats just need to run someone who isn't a lunatic to take the presidency pretty much forever (under the assumption that at least 50% of the country isn't utterly stupid). However, the senate and house are elected from smaller local areas, where they can find a majority of people who will vote for a lunatic. This suggests that the end result is a Republican majority in congress (with terrible approval ratings, as more than 50% of all voters disapprove of what they're doing) and a Democratic president (with an acceptable approval rating). Therefore, the steady state solution for this system is a government that is largely unable to deal with any of the actual functions of government.
- Then again, the Democrats could all vote for Kodos, and we end up with a super powerful executive. Not sure this is much better, really.
- Elsevier still sucks.
