Do it. Please. This will be the funniest election in US History. Make it so that literally only 1 state has both of them on the ballot and that state has enough electoral college votes and is swingy enough to actually matter, so the entire election boils down to literally one state. I want this because I want to hear libs explain for decades to come about how AKCHUALLY that's just what REAL DEMOCRACY looks like and I should particpate in it more if I want to see it differently. It'll be so funny.
“Ankh-Morpork had dallied with many forms of government and had ended up with that form of democracy known as One Man, One Vote. The Patrician was the Man; he had the Vote.”
After rewatching The Hogfather BBC special every Christmas time for a while, this year I've begun the book and am now SOOOO gonna become a Discworld Guy. All these cute little witticisms in the narration and the puns upon puns. I'm having a fantastic time. There's some pretty easy to pick up class consciousness as well. I should have known, I love this kind of over clever British stuff, I'm certain with the accent(s) I'd be seen as having a dry wit instead of being seen as a sarcastic prick.
"I should control the nuclear. Me. Only me. Some people say the mother should get the kids. Many judges think that too. But they are wrong and bad. I say no. The father should get the kids. The mother did her job - big job. Nobody wants to do that. Pregnant and blood... But the father is important very important. And if the mother is too far away - new wife. So - better. Everything is better. I should control the nuclear..."
I think it does. In a way it's similar to how the Soviet Union would pick political leaders. It's more hierarchical and distributed. It just happens that every state's votes go to whoever wins the popular in that state.
What I mean is that for any national office, the states should have no say who is on the ballot. The elections should at least be audited by a national authority, as well. This is assuming a functional government that wants to continue existing, so please disregard.
I think a millitary coup and the dissolution of the two current parties is more likely and a significant amount of people would not even care, faith is so low in either party. The millitary is not gonna allow that shit to happen they will depose Abott and everyone around him before Texas starts shelling New Mexico.

I don't think Republican states will follow through on this, but Southern states taking Lincoln off the ballot was literally a prelude to the Civil War.
