If only it could be the beanie symbol on a beanie.

To be honest it was just a pic of a beanie, should have put some funny text on it or something.

Like, everyone knew who I was, until I took the beanie off

Tim that was great information in your video about Oceans 8. I didn't know that 68 percent was a C+ ! Damn man. You sure as hell didn't need High School.

hey now, quick maffs

So with that rationale, you'd think that any president who didn't get over 70% of the vote has failed and needs to campaign all over again during summer school.

I guess grades are different than average percentages. Turns out.

BUT HE LOST TEH POPULAH VOTE

says every democrat since 1970

Waith, 1970?

What happened there?

Probably not that exact year, but round-about. The shift from southern democracy and civil rights.

That early?

DIdnt realise that

when the party gained a lot more voters. yeah, signs point to it.

Realized they could make a voting bloc I assume

Popular vote: One city dictating what a nation should do.

the popular vote is completely useless. it does not even reflect how many people would have voted for each candidate if the president actually would be decided by popular vote

because... why the f**k would i bother to go vote if my vote would be for the republican candidate and i live in california (that goes for any state where it is clear beforehand who is going to win)

im not even a fan of universal sufferage

more of a starship troopers kind of guy? 😄

girl but i get the reference. i dont nessicaraly think the vote should be religated to those who do military service, though that would be a qualifier, though just the same id divide military organization into professional army and milita and either would qualify for a vote but also i think some other national social services could be appropriate. i just think that people should demonstrate their willingness to be responcible with regards to the nation when given the power to have effect on the nation. though youd also have to fix a lot of the other corruption of the democratic system so that votes actually matter too

also its an opt in system not a disqualification system. you can never have your voting rights revoked (though the same limitations put on them that already exist still apply like being a prisoner) however you can choose to opt in at any point in your life after adulthood

problem with "do x to vote" is that you can potentially restrict people from doing x

this would be a system you could not restrict. besides we already technicly do that, you cant vote unless your a citizine, this would simply add another hoop to that, yes it can be corrupted and people will try to corrupt it but people will try to corrupt anything.

basicly the law itself has to change for more restictions to be added than what ive already stated

as what ive stated would be an added restriction

so my statement that its a ssytem you could not restrict isint entirely true because the system is defined as a restriction in of itself

the natural idea of creating any system is that you fine tune it with redudencys to prevent its undermining, however that also means that pointing out how it can be underminded isint an argument against that system unless a solution cant be found to prevent that corruption. but that also means a blanket statement about a system being corruptible can be applied to every system including the status quo so its meaningless without an example given that specifys the exploit

The thing is, you start from the default "no one can vote" while the current system has the default "everyone can vote"* both need exceptions but in my opinion to say "if you do xyz you are disqualified" is the better way to do it because you are punishing bad behavior and are not forcing people to do anything**. Stay out of trouble and you can vote.

*with the limitation of citizens but that is needed

**well... register to vote...

i'm also a firm beliver in having mandatory ID Cards (that are not drivers licenses) for everyone and requiring people to bring them to the voting booth

i rather promote good behavure rather than punish bad behavure, or do both. people respect what they have when they earn it, refusing to do something wrong is only an accomplishment in a world that the pressure to do something wrong is high

you live in a society where the pressure to do something wrong is high 😉

thats not a good society is it?

Well, wrong is subjective

it is, and it isn't 😄

we do in theory enforce a standard of right and wrong on all people we monitor within the country however

still i think that giving some effert for all people in the nation to strive to have the power to control the fate of the nation gives that power more respect and also inspires people to use it more. as you recall theres pretty poor voting turnouts

Dank and sargon are making a huge mistake IMO on joining UKIP
