I thought their elections were whoever ran out of bullets first?
My point exactly. How many terms would FDR have lasted if he didn't die in office?
but if you're talking about the US, grassroots campaigning is going to be the only way to create any affect on the political landscape
And if the electorate votes for term limits?
if the electorate votes for term limits, let us have term limits
So far as I'm aware, most people want that, just the establishment politicians don't
i do remember when i lived in arkansas and they put term limits on state legislators...things got more corrupt, not less
I don't see why that would be the case. Sounds like an outlier, just like Kansas getting rid of taxes causing problems.
@Marushia Dark it left lobbyists as the only long time denizens of the state house
For the state budget maybe, but not for the state at large
We can kick them too
@Marushia Dark one can't very well run the lobbyists out of little rock on a rail...this isn't the 1940s
Not saying they wouldn't fight back, but still.
keep in mind, i haven't lived in arkansas in over 10 years
i spent a decade in new york then recently came back south to mississippi
I think if you get at least 51% of the population to do it you just made it legal
i left little rock a liberal...left brooklyn a conservative
Race isn't everything but it's definitely something.
It's not racist to point it out.
quite literally voted with my feet both times
You can find "based black dudes" but it isn't beside the fact over 90% of black people voted for Obama for some reason I just don't know what.
My opinion on race, Joey, is that unless you're a doctor, historian, anthropologist, statistician, or merely expressing personal sexual aesthetic preferences, race categorically doesn't matter to anything.
Same with gender and sexuality
Well that's a liberal opinion Marushia.
It's nothing. I can find more people with my last name in the Wehr phonebook than the US. Yet I know none of them and have nothing in common with them.
Well on social issues I'm more liberal, so ...
Are you a conservative?
I'm economically conservative, socially liberal in most respects. So slightly center-right libertarian. I have my PC test on YT if you're interested
And I mean, look, I get it. I apply it both ways. The Groypers have their complaints, but they're still rightwing SJWs
well, let's see...statistics...blacks make up roughly 23% of the us population...commit just over half the murders, and often murder other blacks...there's a social issue in black communities that has become a larger societal issue
They aren't but anyway.
Economically conservative?
Culture *is* my cause. The lowest ghetto trash is still more American culturally than any Eurotrash.
Are you one of those "fiscal conservatives" that's really just neoliberalism?
and many agree that the problem is the breakdown of the nuclear family in black communities
I oppose all welfare with the possible exception UBI and I want a 10% flat tax rate if that answers your question
by many, i talk a lot to local political types
the problem, most of those political types refuse to acknowledge the causes of the breakdown of the black american family
Jinn, again, I get the black-on-black crime stats, just as I get when the left pulls the white-male mass shooter stats. Again, it tells us where to focus attention but can't be used to prejudice individuals.
Just a thing, stopped for coffee at a gas station. The guy in front of me was a black dude with a construction company and a holstered glock. TO me he is more my people than 1000 German faggots.
I mean if you don't need another parent because the state will just subsidize it then lol
