&gt;  Maybe I wouldn&#x27;t pick Ice-T, but perhaps a scam artist who pretended to know about science?<p>Seems like a silly objection, you could also vote for a scam artist for office under the status quo and that would be much worse than delegating your vote to one. At least with delegated votes most people wouldn&#x27;t choose scam artists and the odds of scam artists&#x2F;idiots winning office would be much lower.<p>&gt; People who think differently about topics eventually have their opinions recognized.<p>This is simply not true, as 18th century Poland could attest if it hadn&#x27;t been wiped out by it&#x27;s own governmental paralysis.<p>&gt; If you want to change your country, don&#x27;t try to make a new system to supplant the existing one. Try to fix the old one.<p>This is contradictory. One way of fixing something that&#x27;s broken is with a better system that has some fundamental differences.
