Re: trump off the CO ballot
To be perfectly frank, I would be very surprised if this sort of corruption didn't exist all over the place. I don't think Australians are uniquely virtuous, so that they never use their power to enrich themselves. If there's a way, people find it. I'm not sure America is special in this regard. No...

If you're a sleazy lying bastard (and American) the way to make bank is to go into politics.

Re: trump off the CO ballot
As for holidays, I'm curious about something. There is no such thing as a mandatory holiday in the US. There are customs, but no laws. Federal workers get certain holidays off. Other than that, it's all by agreement between employer and employees, sometimes with unions representing employees. Almos...

Re: trump off the CO ballot
Consider: If all we did was make the vote mandatory, like Australia, and voted on a holiday...just that...we'd see very different results. That alone, if true, exposes the flimsy nature of our democratic intent. Trust me, mandatory voting is a hard sell to Americans. I've never seen someone so vehe...

Re: trump off the CO ballot
There are issues with the way we pick elected representatives, but there are issues everywhere in the world where there are elections. I'm just glad we have elections to complain about. If things were as bad as you say they are, power wouldn't shift back and forth the way it does in America. Oh com...
