It may not work as well as one would like, but compared to the alternative, no input in the process, it's pretty good! You are welcome to disagree, thanks to thoughtful men voting to guarantee you that right. It worked for them, it can work again.
Being satisfied that the process can give good results is not the same as satisfaction with the current results.
The convincing I suggest is convincing those that already think like 'you' to vote the same (and put up reps to vote for that truly think the same). Easier said than done.
I'm not dismissive, I'm still discussing it with you, and never said you're not worth the discussion or 'it's time to ignore you', that was you to me. I am argumentative. I have admitted crippling personality flaws in the past, and will again. That's one. I try to do it respectfully (until intentionally insulted, then it can be ON!).
You misunderstood, my idea is to put people in that are going to fix the system, not dismantle it, and not just feed it.
It will never be perfect (there is no perfect), it can always be better, unless it's no longer existing. That's when there's no hope of improvement.
I wouldn't want clones of me in office, nor would I (they) want to be there. I would like people that want to fix the campaign finance system and get out, that's one main tap root of the problem in my eyes, one that's easy to fix with enough push. True enough, I'm not finding those people to vote for, usually. I can clamor for them though, maybe they'll turn up. (as I said before, my candidate rarely wins, I'm poor at finding the like minded.)
"My delusion", and who's dismissive?

Wait a sec....call me slow.
gwiz665 and Lann got together for a, "better or worse" fright-fest but ISSY and rottenssneddz??

Dude...Too much time on the internet has led to more failed unions than alcohol

@Lann: Just happy with my delusions, that a rest-well at night comes with the knowledge that you have that youngster under your command-thumb!!
For, :
In the game of metallurgy/blacksmith vs. code-monkey, rock smashes scissors effectively enough, EVERYTIME!
(S'pecially cause yer from the U.S. and he's a pasty snow-monkey form the land of hardly any sun....!)

MAGIC IS REAL! I don't need evidence. Snakes can talk and so can burning bushes. Magical bird winged flying people live in the sky, and red skinned evil cloven hoofed demons live below the ground. That is all I need to know, so don't tread on and shatter my delusion with your facts and figures!

thank gwiz, this incredible gem here has served to remind me that while i am on the computer, and i am most certainly a nerd, i am NOT by anymeans a computer nerd. whew, i was getting worried about it.... i can continue to stand firm in my delusion that i am socially superior to all of you for that.
