    Okay, hear me out:

    How about replacing presidential elections with the octogon?
    Every state governor would be able to challenge the POTUS for the position. And the same system can be applied downward, so a regular citizen can punch their way up into the White House.

    I don’t know if that would be a good system, but it would probably be less corrupt than the FPTP electoral college - not to mention a lot more fun to watch. (You can even make it pay-per-view for us non-Americans and easily fix your national debt with the proceeds :P)

      Idk about that, but I do think all future wars should just be a duel between the two highest figure heads.

      So you declare war on a country, that countries leader gets to choose the weapons and time and then we just televise it.

      Imagine Shamshirs at noon (EST) Trump vs Khamenei…

      I mean it could work. The proud boy types will probably all want a go first, to prove their manliness. So let them take each other out one by one, then when the last one is still recovering from the previous fight, send Bernie or AOC in to do a karate kid style KO for a guaranteed win.
