i hope everyone from virginia voted here...

So who is here the less objectionable

Not from Virginia, but I did vote

Also thanks for sharing hours before the first results come in

So from the list hat is on the website who have you voted for If I may ask

http://people.com/crime/illinois-couple-allegedly-let-6-year-old-boy-starve-to-death-as-punishment/

So many scummy people

Hope they get a long sentence

disgusting

a death sentence is too good for some people

So think Theresa will make it past the new year?

If you are in favour of the death sentence than you are OK somethimes killing inocent people

If they were innocent they shouldn’t have looked guilty

Kill em anyway

@DanConway This video by James Allsup ends with a quote I find quite off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqP7-G3unlk

jeremy corbyn is too much of a nut job

And let GOD sort them out

ill check it out

I keep hearing how the crusaders killed all non Christians when they took Jerusalem

But didn’t the guy in charge of the city kick all the Christians out before the siege?

I have yet to see a credible alternative to representative democracy

Muh philosopher king

muh benevolent tyrant

Basically

Or plutocracy I guess

constitutional representative republic

You are arguing semantics

ehhhh

it needs to be specific

Republics are inherently democratic

You still have elections

You could argue a noble republic isnt

that is the specific term we use in the US

"representative"

> Democracy

And a lot of tinpot dictatorships like to call themself republics

someday

Ah sedition

they would still be part of the US

They had a chance several decades ago

just breaking up the state

Unfortunately their big rally was December 8th 1941

Too bad they don't have a clause like Texas' constitution

They reserve the right to divide into up to 5 separate states IIRC

“If the right to vote were expanded to seven year olds … its policies would most definitely reflect the ‘legitimate concerns’ of children to have ‘adequate’ and ‘equal’ access to ‘free’ french fries, lemonade and videos.”

-Hans-Hermann Hoppe

What is the point you are trying to make here?

oh it was a response to the quote Kulak refered too

oh OK

Can you give a TLDW?

Democracy needs checks and balances.

Yes otherwise it would be mob rule

The Tyranny of the majority can be just as bad as the Tyranny of a Dictator

Makes sense that collectivism forms a single body to act on others as a dictator

That is why the founding fathers talked about "the Problem of Democracy"

Democracy is the best system we currenty have

No it’s gay

It has flaws just like capitalism

im just explaining why Constituitonal Representative Republic is the correct term

Or indirect democracy

We vote for people to vote not we vote

I dont know how dirrect democracy could work in the US

They have ballout initiatives and they get low turnout

#NeverForgetTheGulags

You’d think 👌 is the only emoji on this server with how often it’s used

“But the US prison system is worse than gulags it has more people!”

Very similar to US mili kills more than terrorism

A republic has to be democratic.
But not democratic for the people.
It could just as easily be democratic for the elite, I.e nobility, the rich, other politicians etc. These are not new concepts.
Venice was a republic for example.

Democracy is a spectrum

I have more options than John or Joyce?

Because this democracy of ours is full of choice

Spectrums are a thing bro

Collapsing issues into binaries is just as retarded as forcing binaries into spectrums

'cause my vote junk

it goes oh oh oh

That's exactly the right message

doesn't have to be either/or or or

*mumbles something about voting Constitution Party*

Muh third party

Muh muh

I actually do kind of want a third party now

Because I no longer give a fuck about hurting the Democrats

I think the last viable third party... was the prohibition party

as far as a third party actually getting any serious political clout, at least

most other smaller parties, as soon as they actually start to get traction, seem to wind up fracturing themselves with people getting waaaaaaay ahead of themselves int he powergrab sweepstakes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_JP_Wcq-yI

dude @ 1:30 appears to be... "involuntarily transitioning"..

Part of the problem there could be that third parties arise from the fringe of one end of the spectrum

I would want some kind of more centrist party

Gain bipartisan support as opposed to just fracturing one of the wings

Did any of you guys watch this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REHex5e57HI
