By that logic freedom of speech is affirmative action because it protects unpopular speech. You guys are silly.

Change my mind

I'm not saying it's a bad thing

Just saying that at a baseline they are the same

@Exiled Sentinel Go and eat shit. 'It's only bad when it helps the ppl I don't lik.@

FUCKIN LOL#

Muh representative democracy is affirmative action guys ! If you can’t get on my big brained level you can eat shit<:NPC:500042527231967262>

Tell me why it isn't.

In my country one person equals one vote. Why doesn't it in yours?

it doesnt either in my country

Don't obfuscate.

If it did, the south here would never have a say in anything.

I actually already did..

Why doesn’t our country work like your shitty country? Well, as I’ve said before we have government representatives at a local level. That’s what the House does you simple foreigner. Read up on the basics . The notion that the House should be decided by the popular vote of the country is laughable.

Read a bit up on America maybe

simply because of population number differences

I didn't say I disagree. I said that the electoral collage is a form of affirmative action. I places some ppl above others. If it was pure meritocracy then one persons vote would be worth the same as any others.

Can you explain what the merit of one person one vote is, since it doesnt require any merits whatsoever other then being able to vote which is universal for everyone.

no dur.

So why isn't a persons vote in cal worth as much as one in Viginar? (SP)

Spit it out man!

Affirmative action is arbitrary but people having representation and control of the politics at a local level are not. The House is the counter point to the Senate. It’s a check on the tranny of the majority. If we had a straight popular vote on everything only the cites in a few states would be represented. However the interests of the entire county are vastly different then LA and NY city. Our Republic would literal fall apart.

it would

You keep saying that it’s affirmative action without really proving it. You just point out that it has something vague to do with a smaller group of people.

Freedom of the press has to do with a small group of people. Those that engage in the activities of the press. Is that affirmative action? Is freedom of speech affirmation action because it protects unpopular speech?

You’re watering it down

The US isn't based off of mob rule m8. It's based off of a set of joined states

You're entirely misunderstanding the structure of the country

So you agree. Affirmative action, which gives certain people more weight based on who/where/what they are is used for the good of all to stop tyranny of the majority.

wat

To help those who could'nt shout loader than the others.

Wat

Lol

No

>hey, we're in a Union you willingly joined, on the basis that you would have equal representation in that union
!=
>we need 10 more voters from Wisconsin for this vote to be equal

Nobody's vote counts for less because *you are not voting for representatives from other states*

It's like saying the UN should have 10 US representatives and 1 Canadian

You have your state, your state gets their representation, you vote for that

No one is explaining what the difference is betwen given some ppl a leg up coz they are oppressed and giving smaller/less popules states more weight.

Because the entire agreement is different

They're not the same situation

Killery got millions more ppl to vote for her. Why should she not be in power?

They are.
