not to mention, his ID laws are just
Like, he literally couldn't fucking vote
because his ID already expired
No need to despair.
Well that’s his fault
Also, do keep in mind that he's primarily disenfranchised primarily minorities...
Through his policies
I mean
I'm confident the democrats are gonna take the house
I just think our system's fucked
The house is a coin toss. So maybe
weighed heavily in favor of the republicans
Hell, the democrats need to win ~55% of the popular vote
to obtain the majority
Thanks to gerrymandering
So? The popular vote is gay
even then, just look at the senate or the electoral college... They're all reactionary institutions designed to suppress the working class
"What the people want is gay"
I mean, true, but I'm presuming you mean it in a derogatory way
in which case I disagree
Popular vote is retarded
The whole country would be ruled by coastal cities. No thanks
Well, what do you propose?
Sans popular vote
Democracy is dangerous to competent statecraft because it forces every political decision to be lowered to a level of stupidity that the masses can understand.
Okay
so let those with...
say a college education, perhaps
vote?
They're more enlightened...
(and also tend to be significantly more liberally leaning)
Propose? Nothing. I’m fine with it the way it is regarding voting.
So a system in which farmers arbitrarily hold more power
In which the will of ~500,000 is equal to that of millions
No
A system that protects the rural population from the cities
"protects"
No way. College doesn’t make you more enlightened necessarily. The system you want would only allow elites to vote
Colleges.. AHA
Eh, make college education more affordable and it wouldn't be an issue
I do concur, though
