So here are our two essential findings.
- Who becomes a presidential candidate is always (statistically very likely) decided by what "easily influenced, white, old people" want.
- The selection process is like a game of monopoly, where one player can start as three players, that pool funds and assets after the first fourth of the game (so two of the players can get real world benefits doing that). And where another player can be made to always only count as 0.8 of a player by splitting their potential income throughout the game.
But you give them - what - four public debates, so they can talk themselves out of that, by talking to voters, using their gift of the gab?
Huh. Interesting.
I wonder why other countries dont have that system. And isn't it lucky, that so many US americans dont understand statistics at all?
edit: To be fair, the winner of that process - then only becomes the presidential candidate in the first round, if they get about 40%-50% of the monopoly money. Which isnt votes but also a weighted measure called 'electoral delegates'.
Otherwise, there is a second round, you know.
edit2: And the process requires, that you, as a candidate, have to convince the (usually gaussian distributed) monopoly board, convincingly, that you 'can still win' throughout an entire year. *haha*
