A thin majority — a 50-50 split — is a decision that only shows perfect indecision and confusion. Any so called democracy that makes decisions based on a vote where the winning margin is less than twenty-five percent is foolish.
The DNC should use their convention to actually decide the election rather than to try and pimp a candidate with slim credentials. The “Madison Avenue” approach to using marketing techniques to spin up a candidate is actually sinister.
In Peru, the field is narrowed to two candidates, then the WHOLE country gets to vote on the two remaining candidates. I would vote differently if I had another vote.
There are a lot of other potential methods for selecting a candidate. Perhaps there should be two times through the gamut.
Perhaps we should have a shared presidency. Perhaps there should be two spokespersons/presidents, one for each party.
Making a decision based on a 50-50 vote is a fallacy. A vote of 50-50 does not make a logical or meritorious decision. Making a decision based on a 50-50 split would be like the computer engineer deciding to determine whether a bit was a logical one or a logical zero by taking the average of a few million bits. Ha. In computer circuits a logical zero is below 1.2 volts and a logical one is above 2.4 volts. Everything in the middle is rejected.
Reject the close decisions. Design our nation correctly.
