Clinton was a farright conservative by today ' s standards . <| sep |> great post . agree with most of it , really keen insights . Some of the points are really more crucial than others though , IMO . Fore example , term limits are an absolute necessity . With further curbs on what officials can do after their terms . Making them public servants again instead of a selfappointed ruling class of elites would solve 90 % of the other problems overnight . Which means you would have far less opposition to enacting reforms on the other stuff . The validity of the Electoral College I am split on . On the one hand , it prevents CANY from alone determining every president . So I think raw popular vote is not necessarily the right solution . This whole issue needs overhaul , and note that you didnt mention an additional superimportant item , election fraud . Great start to discussing fixes to this issue that affects us all
