Who cares about feelings? The goal of voting is to best translate the desires of the citizenry into action, and the current nature of the EC...
Ah thanks. I only saw two parts, so my 17 min estimation is probably off.
I appreciate your effort here, CF. Bias is extremely prevalent, and no one should just dismiss your hypothesis outright, especially as you’ve...

Perhaps, but if you don’t think that political parties inculcate group think among their members, I’m not sure your judgement regarding who is a...
This is the fear of a government dominated by one party: that like you, members of a party can only see the 80 mil people on the other side as...
At the risk of revealing myself as a goober, I completely agree that the best decisions are made by intellectually diverse groups. Also, if we are...
