Working on my sample ballot

Giving others my opinion on how everyone should vote., not so much for whom to vote for but the issues.

The “propositions” in my state are just suggestions. I miss the West Coast where the people had a say in their government.

@LeopoldBloom OMG I do, too.

@Graylight I don't think pure Democracy would work but in some cases direct Democracy can be a counterweight to representative Democracy. Shortly after I moved to Oregon, the state finally legalized physician-assisted suicide. The people had to vote for that three times because the legislature kept reversing it.

What if - and just hear me out on this one, Bob - but what if you simply gave others an objective overview of the issues and then let them make up their own opinions?

That's the essence of voting.

@Graylight because the wording of the issues suck

@MarineBob Which is why the valuable help of clarification. But your opinion need not enter the conversation at any point. That's influencing a voter.
