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.

2018-11-06 22:02:51 UTC  

"Places of higher learning are biased to the left"

2018-11-06 22:03:02 UTC  

They aren't higher learning

2018-11-06 22:03:02 UTC  

IQ tests are elitist too?

2018-11-06 22:03:04 UTC  

Not even close

2018-11-06 22:03:06 UTC  

Lol

2018-11-06 22:03:14 UTC  

IQ test, above 125 to be eligible to vote

2018-11-06 22:03:17 UTC  

And IQ tests speaking nothing as to practical intelligence

2018-11-06 22:03:19 UTC  

Like university entry is based on IQ

2018-11-06 22:03:36 UTC  

It's generally heavily holistic...

2018-11-06 22:03:54 UTC  

Colleges are not higher learning

2018-11-06 22:04:00 UTC  

Standardized testing is even a hell of a lot more broad

2018-11-06 22:04:01 UTC  

They are teen day cares

2018-11-06 22:04:16 UTC  

Those god-damn physicists and their god-damn day cares

2018-11-06 22:04:28 UTC  

Anon, it's okay, not everyone's accepted to university
