    You need more elections more often.

    No we need them less often, what we have learned is if you give the legislature more time to work there is less focus on electioneering and arse protecting and more on getting things done

    If you say so.

    We've had this conversation before Clete, your system is very similar to ours. No better or worse considering where we both are in our history or development.

    It is true our system is modelled on yours, to a point, but we hold elections less frequently and our King (Queen) has no say in policy. This makes the system very different. It is also a multi-party system, making us somewhat more diverse in the political spectrum

    The only difference I see is size. Though we have two major parties, the political spectrum is pretty diverse to as repubs have prochoicers and the dems have prolifers, so differences and coalitions between parties is not at all unusual. The other difference is the amount of money invested in our politics and politicians and that is a major problem.

    ohhhh I'm so afraid to go outside to vote .... come on ! The Iraqi's and Afghans stand in long lines to vote ;stick their finger in dye to prove they voted while under the threat of being murdered for doing so. When did we lose our spine ? All these new proposals are not about voter safety . It is the next phase in the ballot harvesting scheme . Phase 1 was encouraging early and absentee votes . That is how the Dems were able to grab every contested district in California. Basically volunteers or campaign workers go door to door and ask people if they voted . If they say no ,they offer them paper ballots and offer to "assist "them in filling them out . They then harvest these ballots and drop them off at polling places . It is a completely corrupted system having people with an interest in the outcome handling the process. North Carolina has a similar law except only family members can drop off ballots .Even so
    In North Carolina’s 9th Congressional District, the Republican candidate was accused of illegal vote harvesting and, ultimately, the state election board overturned the election. But in California no one was held accountable for any mischief .Casting ballots on line or on the phone for anything more important than a Twitter poll is dangerous and a terrible idea.

    Yeah can't upgrade the voting system since we know how much fraud the dems are capable of, or how wrongly repubs get caught at their shenanigans. You mail in or do your census online but no voting is too risky. Taxes, DMV, all online, or by mail, but voting...no way!

    It's no wonder we can't tell fake news from real news.

    yeah that is right. Your taxes ,DMV etc are all your OWN business . The national vote impacts everyone . So yes it is much more important .

    Looks like you are still in the testing phase though Clete, and have yet to verify it's efficacy, or even widespread verifiable results which by definition is anecdotal. Cure is a premature claim at this point.

    Keep going I'm rooting for you.

    20 % of drug prescriptions are off label in this country . I can guarantee you that doctors and health care professionals are taking a probably lower dose of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin as prophylactic cocktail . Why do you think India is banning exports of the drug ?
