Also, do keep in mind that he's primarily disenfranchised primarily minorities...

2018-11-06 21:58:12 UTC  

Through his policies

2018-11-06 21:58:28 UTC  

I mean

2018-11-06 21:58:35 UTC  

I'm confident the democrats are gonna take the house

2018-11-06 21:58:49 UTC  

I just think our system's fucked

2018-11-06 21:58:53 UTC  

The house is a coin toss. So maybe

2018-11-06 21:58:55 UTC  

weighed heavily in favor of the republicans

2018-11-06 21:59:09 UTC  

Hell, the democrats need to win ~55% of the popular vote

2018-11-06 21:59:14 UTC  

to obtain the majority

2018-11-06 21:59:22 UTC  

Thanks to gerrymandering

2018-11-06 21:59:31 UTC  

So? The popular vote is gay

2018-11-06 21:59:42 UTC  

even then, just look at the senate or the electoral college... They're all reactionary institutions designed to suppress the working class

2018-11-06 21:59:53 UTC  

"What the people want is gay"

2018-11-06 22:00:03 UTC  

I mean, true, but I'm presuming you mean it in a derogatory way

2018-11-06 22:00:08 UTC  

in which case I disagree

2018-11-06 22:00:09 UTC  

Popular vote is retarded

2018-11-06 22:00:25 UTC  

What do you propose then?

2018-11-06 22:00:33 UTC  

The whole country would be ruled by coastal cities. No thanks

2018-11-06 22:00:39 UTC  

Well, what do you propose?

2018-11-06 22:00:42 UTC  

Sans popular vote

2018-11-06 22:00:46 UTC  

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.

2018-11-06 22:00:51 UTC  

Okay

2018-11-06 22:00:58 UTC  

so let those with...

2018-11-06 22:01:02 UTC  

say a college education, perhaps

2018-11-06 22:01:03 UTC  

vote?

2018-11-06 22:01:07 UTC  

They're more enlightened...

2018-11-06 22:01:15 UTC  

(and also tend to be significantly more liberally leaning)

2018-11-06 22:01:16 UTC  

Propose? Nothing. I’m fine with it the way it is regarding voting.

2018-11-06 22:01:29 UTC  

So a system in which farmers arbitrarily hold more power

2018-11-06 22:01:45 UTC  

In which the will of ~500,000 is equal to that of millions

2018-11-06 22:01:46 UTC  

No

2018-11-06 22:02:00 UTC  

A system that protects the rural population from the cities

2018-11-06 22:02:07 UTC  

"protects"

2018-11-06 22:02:07 UTC  

No way. College doesn’t make you more enlightened necessarily. The system you want would only allow elites to vote

2018-11-06 22:02:20 UTC  

Colleges.. AHA

2018-11-06 22:02:23 UTC  

Eh, make college education more affordable and it wouldn't be an issue

2018-11-06 22:02:26 UTC  

I do concur, though

2018-11-06 22:02:40 UTC  

Direct democracy, or at least proportional representation, would make the most sense

2018-11-06 22:02:42 UTC  

Colleges are already controlled to push a leftist stance

2018-11-06 22:02:47 UTC  

IQ tests to vote

2018-11-06 22:02:51 UTC  

“ more affordable “ you mean tax everyone more. No thanks.
