We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

And that's why first pass the post is a terrible system
Agreed. It is way past time to reform our electoral system to give third parties a chance through star and approval voting. And the bullshit that happens with the primaries being run however the parties like needs to end.
Would be cool if we had a universal rating system like yelp reviews, but for politicians. Ted Cruz sitting at a galactic 1.4 stars, Trump rocking 0.9 stars, Obama with like a 3.5, and then a ton of third party candidates with 4 or 5 stars, all with relevant written reviews. Economy's shit? You voted in a 1-star fascist, so of course you got 1-star quality. Alabama became the second most educated state in the country? Those 5-stars are absolutely killing it. Keep it up Alabama. Feel like nothing's getting done in your home state? Check those reviews, boot out the 3-stars and below. They're not taking their job seriously enough. Remember to take the time to review your senator during midterms!
Reviews don't even work well to judge restaurants and apps, why would they be any better for politicians?
I suppose that's true. The people can't be trusted to know what they want.
