Democracy is rule of the mob and our Congress is ruled by the money. I agree with an idea of internet voting to decide for the House, but we need the Senate to balance the mob.
We should go back to having Senators picked by the State legislature and not elected. This would reduce corporate influence. Further we could increase the size of the house. 1 representative for every 250,000 people. This would be more representative than today and more like the past.
Or, we could just appoint Cenk as President for life.
Don't waste your vote, vote Green or Independent in the next election.
But a House with 1200 members? Interesting idea.
But having the legislatures select the Senators wouldn't cut privilege and influence peddling out of the equation. That's why we got rid of that system.
The only thing that's going to start to fix our problems is dramatic campaign finance reform.
But what if someone really really really wants to run and thinks that he can win? In that case, he should be allowed to use his own money. If it happens that he is richer than God and could virtually buy the election, then his opposition would have to be given equal money by the financing authority in order to "level the playing field".
That way, no one can say that they were prohibited from running for office.
