(20,176 posts)It always starts with better candidates. The problem lies in the refusal of many to consider that all other proposals are merely "wallpaper covering the shit" (I'm assuming from that odd analogy of Grandma's that the wall was made of shit and covering it in wallpaper doesn't really solve the problems resultant of a shit-wall.) if you're still running bad candidates. The easy solution is to blame off-years or low voter turn-out...but we're not exactly putting dynamic nominees on the ballot that people are going to get excited about and go out of their way to vote for.
Name me a voter turnout proposal that overcomes the fact that Conway is a terrible candidate. I'm listening.
Until we stop putting terrible-but-safe candidates on the ballot, this is going to continue to happen.
