2019-05-14 13:56:45 UTC  

Democracy

2019-05-14 13:56:52 UTC  

yes

2019-05-14 13:56:52 UTC  

based

2019-05-14 13:57:00 UTC  

sweden is small enough that it works

2019-05-14 13:57:20 UTC  

I can see the problem in places like USA however

2019-05-14 13:57:46 UTC  

That's why I'm differentiating parties between our two systems

2019-05-14 13:58:00 UTC  

yes haha I'm just trying to understand how the american system works

2019-05-14 13:58:02 UTC  

There's 50 different republican psrtjes

2019-05-14 13:58:06 UTC  

oh shit?

2019-05-14 13:58:13 UTC  

huh. cool.

2019-05-14 13:58:13 UTC  

50 different Democrat parties

2019-05-14 13:58:24 UTC  

just for context, there are 50 states right?

2019-05-14 13:58:27 UTC  

Yes

2019-05-14 13:58:28 UTC  

or am I retarded?

2019-05-14 13:58:30 UTC  

oh ok!

2019-05-14 13:58:42 UTC  

Well then. Seems like a pretty fitting system if you ask me.

2019-05-14 13:59:00 UTC  

So a Democrat in West Virginia could be more related to a republican in Oregon

2019-05-14 13:59:05 UTC  

Ahhhhhh!

2019-05-14 13:59:17 UTC  

i would call them just different branches of the republican party tho

2019-05-14 13:59:25 UTC  

And a Texas republican might have radical different ideas then someone from California?

2019-05-14 13:59:28 UTC  

different legal entities which are actually one

2019-05-14 13:59:39 UTC  

But they have no allegiance to other state parties, or an overarching authority

2019-05-14 13:59:43 UTC  

seems pretty fitting

2019-05-14 13:59:48 UTC  

very cool

2019-05-14 14:00:09 UTC  

So yeah, we have parties, but like 100+ lol

2019-05-14 14:00:17 UTC  

<:GWcorbinTopKek:384871333705678868>

2019-05-14 14:00:34 UTC  

There is NO allegiance to any party

2019-05-14 14:00:45 UTC  

very epic

2019-05-14 14:01:07 UTC  

So if lets say you would run as a republican, that wouldnt really say much about the party as a whole, correct?

2019-05-14 14:01:15 UTC  

Right

2019-05-14 14:01:21 UTC  

Very cool.

2019-05-14 14:01:35 UTC  

But the party can't do shit if you're actually a secret commie

2019-05-14 14:01:49 UTC  

Yeah. Which is a problem lmao.

2019-05-14 14:01:57 UTC  

Cant do that overhere. <:GWcorbinTopKek:384871333705678868>

2019-05-14 14:02:09 UTC  

Cant hide your ideology. If someone finds out you're fired.

2019-05-14 14:02:38 UTC  

Which is good imo. I want people to be truthful. And I want the people representing the parties to actualyl represent them well.

2019-05-14 14:03:12 UTC  

(Thing is, if they already have a seat somewhere, and get fired, their seat is not lost. They still sit there. We call them political wildlings.)

2019-05-14 14:03:18 UTC  

Well shouldn't they be representing the people, not the party?

2019-05-14 14:03:48 UTC  

Well the parties are branches of the people, showing what different groups need and requires.

2019-05-14 14:04:06 UTC  

A Social Democrat and a Moderate both represent the people
