but personally I think politics is for underachievers in general
Last time I can remember is back during the Obamacare debate.
If the population could just all get together and decide what direction the country should take, we wouldn't then have to pay two opposing party who each undo what we paid the other party to do.
you will always need a captain in your ship
Instead of it actually being a vote, it's like a constant battle that is fueled with tax payer money.
feel free to suggest a more effective method
I'm up for discussion on that
Make me emperor.
Seriously, though:
what makes you think you would do a better job than me?
😏
please don't go for hyper-democracy
if we punished our elected officials for being obstructionist, if people got that into their heads, we would be far more efficient.
obstructionism is by design
I would be willing to hold both parties accountable. If the vote was towards one direction, but the other party simply wasted money to filibuster everything - vote them out.
it's so crazy changes take time and effort
IF they pull shit like Kavanaugh - vote themout.
they do it because they know they can get away with it
the same way Nike did a shit ad and knew that investor would stay with them anyway
Well, yes.
sure
Take the Article 13 in the EU as an example.
and that's fair. But you will have to convince the others on it
Nobody wanted that.
the EU thing is a different issue
I'm not sure.
you didn't vote on it and you had no way to
It's a more extreme case, but I think the difference is in degree, not kind.
the only easy solution to solve the EU problem is to get out of it
Yes.
Which brings us back to people having to undo the mess that they paid others to take care of.
People never voted for a super state. It was primarily sold as an economic union.
you have to understand the multiple sides of this
for example, the argument of remainers in UK is exactly that one
they want to "re-vote" the decision
what one side sees as progress, the other sees as something to undo
why did we nuke japan, shouldve nuked germany
Sorry, I'd offer my political opinions for you, m1, but I'm not a liberal. Guess my political opinions don't matter because they're not the ones you want.
It was in the plans, but my understanding is Germany surrendered before they were done.
obviously
