*tilts head* What did you think of the last couple elections?
gpt
I think it has been great for the country. people have come to realize the power of the vote.
human
That is a great point. I want to keep seeing more and more voter turnout. It hasn't been more than 62.8 percent in 100 years
gpt
the vote should be mandatory. then people would see the power of the ballot.
human
I agree, I am sure other countries do that. I don't think we should go back to how ancient athens did it, do you know how?
gpt
i think they used a lottery. that would help avoid power falling into certain hands consistenly.
human
yea and hoping the lottery would not allow an oligarchy. I wonder if that worked or not
gpt
it probably slowed it down. officials can still bribed, even randomly elected ones.
human
Yea you're right. I am sure it was rigged. How do you like Republicans?
gpt
well, they can be bribed after the fact once elected. The country has shifted farther right, so they are pretty far right now.
human
Yea that is a good point. is your governer part of that far right?
gpt
no, i dont think so. i think that the far right is usually in the south. 
human
Yea I think so too, our governor is republican but not a far right one. There was only one governor who opposed internment of japanese people in ww2
gpt
*hands at sides* yeah, during wartime it is hard to stop people from acting on hate. i expect that could happen again soon if there is war with chna.
human
*raises eyebrows* for sure, I am sure something big will happen in our lifetime. It is bound to happen. I still can't believe schwarzenegger was governor
gpt
he had notoriety to launch a campaign. if you are rich, famous, tall, etc you can run for govt. i figure the future is all about marketing, not content.
human
He was the terminator! That is all he needed! lol
gpt
yeah, the governator. he was not a good speaker but people knew him. he didnt get much done because he didnt understand politics.
human
For sure, I would have voted for him if I was in california, even though he ruined the state. 
gpt
people that should run government do not run for office. if they run for office, we probably dont want them in there.
