and wants to crush everything youve ever held dear
Yes
he should quite honestly hurl himself off a roof
It's like reading the color of a crayon; reddish-orange is orange with some red in it. A democratic republic is a republic with some democratic qualities. Whatever comes first is an add on
Direct democracy is like asking a bunch of 5 year old what they want for dinner.
They’re going to choose candy for every meal, rot their teeth and become fat.
Andrew don’t like dictatorship but he sure as well wouldn’t mind being in charge of said dictatorship lol
Exactly Scale
i don't even know why people make the tyranny of majority argument for the ec, that's not even the reason why it behaves in the way it does, the purpose - at least in that regard - is to represent each state as a semi-independent entity within the union
hello children
I agree with direct democracy for big constitutional changes, but day to day representational is fine
I'm not much of a leader
democracy only semi works with heavily decentralized government
Especially regional representation
but that doesnt tend to happen
And I despise dictatorships
i can't understand why someone would think population density should affect the weight of votes
@Oskar the Grouch BYOOOOOGAH
@Storin no
Funny how minority rule has caused the vast majority of problems in the world but let's ignore that fact.
direct democracy is anti regional
so big constitutional changes cant be direct democracy
@Death in June States rights went out the window a century ago.
the current system where its based on individual states is fine
But I'm pretty on board with the Federal Government enforcing certain freedoms for all citizens in all states
no reason to ruin that
I meant the UK
Like BRexit going to the people was the right decision imo
sure so what's the point of weighting votes from different states differently
@Andrew Popa 2.0 ya but depends what you mean. The whole “crush states rights” bit seems a bit..... much?
Everyone seems to have ignored/forgotten that fact.
Doesn't matter, we got a say in leaving it
Say for example in the US you could consume marijuana that you've just legally bought from a store in a state and get arrested for it in another
The fact that generation didn't go to task is their own fault
It does matter. No vote - 100% rejection.
marijuana isnt federally legal
This also goes on top a shit load of varying gun controls laws
you fucking retard
Alcohol laws
I know that
