]]> Comment on How to Improve American Presidential Elections in Four Steps by Sara Wolf https://txfx.net/2012/11/11/improving-american-presidential-elections/comment-page-1/#comment-760554 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 02:31:17 +0000 http://txfx.net/?p=12732#comment-760554 In reply to Jill.

There is already a national movement to pass ranked choice voting/instant runoff in all the states for national elections. The way it would work is that each state adopts RCV/IRV for statewide elections and at the same time the bill states that once all the states are signed on the system goes into effect nationally. As soon as all the states are signed on the electors from that state to the electoral college would be pledged to vote for the winner of the national popular vote. No need to change the constitution. It is already law that states can decide for themselves how to allocate their electors so it’s not a big deal for everyone to just say they will honor the national popular vote.

I actually feel my vote being diluted even though I live in California. The difference between candidates in the popular vote seems so insignificant on a national scale I feel like it could be flipped the next day. Plus voters don’t know or care about what is best for the country as a whole and usually vote selfishly or ignorantly which could end up hurting them. I personally think a mark of good President is one who is politically pragmatic and values a healthy relationship with Congress regardless of political differences. I would propose some fusion of the original electoral college where the state legislatures picked specific individuals to decide for the state like expert electors combined with the direct electoral college that we do today and maybe throw in some bonus points if a candidate gets over 50% popular vote. I would also like to see one senate seat go back to the state legislature.

]]> Comment on Followup on “The Post” by Philip O. Bartolome https://txfx.net/2013/04/18/followup-on-the-post/comment-page-1/#comment-756839 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 05:35:56 +0000 http://txfx.net/?p=12873#comment-756839 Hi, Im was a devout christian, a theology graduate and had been a pastor in baptist churches here in the Philippines. But I left church and christian fellowship 8 yrs ago due to huge discouragement on the god I once held dear and the way churches and its leaders operate. Frankly, I know what I believe and can even defend most of them, and also explain rational ways of interpreting the various literary genres of the bible which other sects failed to do so that leads them to believe what they believe. I didnt only know my beliefs, I felt them, live in them, accept them as totally the only truth in this entire universe. Only recently (though ive not been in church for years), my faith in christian god’s existence greatly wavered and I begin to question if such god do really exist. Plus the thought of a just and loving god tormenting billions of people in hell is just really troublesome and inconsistent with the justice that even a simple mind could comprehend. Im 99.9 percent of abandoning this god idea. As a previous baptist, we strongly believe in “once saved (through genuine faith alone), forever saved”. I wonder how could I be forever saved when I no longer have faith. That doesnt matter now anyway-no such thing as heaven or hell! But even I are surprised by my own self, I never thought a man of strong faith such as myself, would someday be faithless. I said 99.9 percent, because till now, Im still waiting for the sign: “if you do exist, please talk to me or reveal yourself to me somehow, just like you revealed yourself to Apostle Paul, perhaps”…. Anyway, Im happy to have read your blogs, trully im not alone in this struggle. I can have life, I can have purpose, I can have meaning and happiness without this god.
