I am 100% behind this
Trump still strong in the SRK poll
and all other ones
Americaâs two party system is really failing them on a national stage.
A new system of voting would do wonders.
Dude basically just says everything everybody already knows.
vid I posted at the end of the last page discusses a Harvard Law Professor who is running for office, just to do that very thing. Change laws, refuse to pass any bills, veto EVERYTHING, until the rest of congress plays ball. The very fact he would be getting elected, would be proof enough that the American people want that change.
Sounded like the professor just wants communism.
Democracy is the god that failed us. You cant honestly except good decisions on a system that allows people a vote cause they can.
At least with only allowing people with land ownership to vote that had some sense to it.
Inbefore Razor comes in saying. âYouâll still get a good leader even w-with random voting. (:â
I wouldnât quite say that.
The biggest issue here is that money in politics is a real issue. There is proof, that congress is essentially bought out. Congress has a near 50% chance of passing laws that big firms want to pass while they have a 25-30 chance of passing a law that over 50% of americans want passed. And 1000 dollars goes much furhter than a vote does.
Itâs all sorts of fucked up issues that will be solved only if you take wildly radical steps. The flaw with any democracy is that it eventually fails to corruption or it implodes on itself when a man with vision takes over.
Is it 1971? Get a new argument.
Bernie Sanders is running on what is essentially a socialist platform.
congratz on obviously not watching the video I posted, but still attempting to argue against it.
All that Lessig wants to do is change the obviously broken parts of the government. Doesnât care about any of the polices, just getting the government fixed so we can stop having leaders using loopholes and other scummy tactics, to get what they want.
Still democracy. Just not broken, only works for the 1%, democracy.
Democracy is a sham anyway, it only works because of generations of programming and cultural experimentation gives idiots the idea that they have a free voice, free anything.
Democracy has been for the last 200 years at best, the new word for monarchy, but instead of a couple of assholes standing on top of everybody they instead skulk back behind the scenes.
People dont go out and vote 100% cause most people subconsiously know that its either rigged, wont matter, if their guy gets in hes gonna bullshit and lie anyway. Whats so good about any of this shit? :lol:
This is the dumbest post i have read on the site bar none.
The US is not a democracy. It is a republic like the Roman Republic before it became the Roman Empire. Star Warsâ Galactic Empire is modeled after the Roman EmpireâŚ
So, if history repeats itself, when will the American Republic turn in to the American Empire???
First 50 years of American policy was more or less about as good as the republic got. provided you where a white dude, or white woman married to a white dude. There was even more good expansion under Theodore, Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Kennedy, LBJ and Nixon (last three to a degree)
even in the early days there where those with ties to economic giants who wanted to consolidate power [looks at that shit head Alexander Hamilton]). the the big 4 barons came about and ruined everything by showing you could by a fucking president.
A republic can work, but all it requires is a population that understands and values the core principle of any democratic derivative.
Civic Duty
but lol at that. Thatâs why traditionally humans have always designated a leader and a dictatorships where and still is standard fair. Itâs the easiest way to manage a population and resources.
Youâre not in a republic anymore, and the system is gamed. Regular people canât affect change anymore, all they have is the illusion that their vote somehow matters.
Nazis were socialists as well. The only thing you did was change the label, not the meaning.
At least National Socialism there was those core principles and emphasis on civic duty.
Not this equality bs.
Never going to happen. Hillary has a better chance at being the president then that professor.
And the main reason was that the vote is worthless cause the people are worthless.
They have no convictions or care about any of those reasons.
And that wouldnt change things even with a reform on the democratic structure.
Godwinâs Law this early? Thanks for tapping out so easily, Cicada
What I implied was the socialism is a broad term. And you using its socialism not communism is the old excuse in the book.
Doesnt change that you still support horrible ideas or think there is nothing wrong with immigration.
Even if you got what you wanted, its not gonna change anything. The core of the problem is that the common person doesnt care.
What I suggested that it shouldnt be bad to want to have national pride or respect for your heritage and the desire to protect that.
Bring god back into the schools, What was wrong with it?
Residential schools werent a bad idea. If it was handle more better then there would be less drunk natives or assholes around.
Iâve never saw a f*ggot Injun until after all the single mother households were around. Now theyâre everywhere. Wtf happened?
Anyways, the start of change would be bringing back traditional values.
Iâm missing every point you seem to think youâve made.
I still dunno what youâre arguing against of mine, besides vague references to communism, probably due to my name.
Bernie wanting to keep social security is the biggest knock against him. Fuck that shit. He also had other policies regarding economics that make him less desirable.
Also he will never win anything. Dudes outclassed and doesnât have the money to secure mainstream exposure
Social security has got to go, or at least be changed. Medicare and Medicaid also have to be modified or changed. Remove business regulation that strangles little guys. Lower taxes once entitlements are modified or removed. Tell teachers unions to go fuck themselves and improve public schooling. Allow parents a choice of which school they want their child to go to and leave it up to the schools to accept them or not. Shit just get the federal government out of schools and let states handle it. Stop spending so much fucking tax money on kids when thatâs not the issue. Which candidate promises to at least try these things? Iâll vote for that guy
