Lol okay refs <| sep |> Yeah it ' s a fantastic system . I do hope they add tag next time though . Simple gameplay option that significantly changes strategy . <| sep |> It ' s what actual democracy looks like . Ugly , brutal , vindictive , competitive , and shallow . If you want a gilded party to be thrown when ever the leader is crowned . Try a monarchy . The election process in the U . S is messy . AND THAT ' S A GOOD THING . Despite what a hipster will tell you . the primaries are insane . Why ? because guess what . The government has NO CONTROL over it . each district , party , state , and organization sets it ' s own rules and processes for the selection process . Messy , yes . Confusing , sometimes . But ultimately it ' s the people in charge . Not the government . The Electorate is a mess . WHY ? because it ' s NOT controlled by the government . Each state is allotted a number of electoral votes . But they decide who can be an electorate . Most people who bitch about the electorate don ' t EVEN know how it works , or are registered to vote at all . It ' s why we ignore them . their idiots . As in the Greek word Idiotes . A person who wastes their vote and political clout . It ' s literally where we get the word from . But anyways . In most states all you need to do to become an Electorate . Is vote , be registered . Participate in political functions . As in volunteer or work for a political organization attend civil discourse . As in go to a town hall or county meeting . then apply to become a electorate . Then , I shit you not . The names are drawn from a hat or a lottery . If your picked , you get to choose the next fucking president . But once again . It ' s the PEOPLE in charge of it . Not the damned government and that is a GOOD thing .
