Sure.

2019-11-06 17:13:54 UTC  

The state absolutely should be spanking these weird tranny freaks, for example.

2019-11-06 17:14:24 UTC  

Or thots fucking anything that smiles at them.

2019-11-06 17:15:40 UTC  

Or nogs doing their WorldStar shit on every street corner.

2019-11-06 17:16:04 UTC  

And then once wokescolds get into power you can't buy a house or use a credit card

2019-11-06 17:16:39 UTC  

Let's not let them into power then.

2019-11-06 17:45:45 UTC  

Easier to neuter power than to guarantee someone you don't like never gets it

2019-11-06 17:50:08 UTC  

Mormon sex cult??

2019-11-06 17:55:49 UTC  

Virginia just went solid blue: discuss

2019-11-06 18:04:02 UTC  

@Beemann Sauce? Because what I'm proposing does eventually fail, sure. What you're proposing has literally never worked anywhere, ever.

2019-11-06 18:04:50 UTC  

It unironically has a worse track record than communism.

I think it was coming, our cities are going solid b lue

2019-11-06 18:08:06 UTC  

My district in VA had no Republican on the ballot

2019-11-06 18:08:18 UTC  

If they both eventually fail dont they both never work ever?
Also it doesnt appear to be an eventuality. Consolidated power gets abused pretty quickly, while decentralised power takes time to centralize, all components being roughly equal

2019-11-06 18:08:23 UTC  

Only a Democrat and a Libertarian and a write in

2019-11-06 18:08:37 UTC  

The Richmond Times dispatch is shitting itself in excitement like a puppy when you just get home.

2019-11-06 18:08:47 UTC  

and the puppy just got done eating every edible thing in the garbage.

2019-11-06 18:09:38 UTC  

Our VA newspaper

2019-11-06 18:11:04 UTC  

You down in Richmond?

2019-11-06 18:11:27 UTC  

Im up in Nova the bluest part of the state

2019-11-06 18:11:51 UTC  

Yeah my whole town is blue as can be.

2019-11-06 18:12:19 UTC  

WE just renamed some of our schools because they were named after some big name Democrats who were party leaders for decades.

2019-11-06 18:12:27 UTC  

Also they turned out to be hardline segregationists.

2019-11-06 18:14:33 UTC  

You don’t say!

2019-11-06 18:14:36 UTC  

Im shocked

2019-11-06 18:14:45 UTC  

Dems and segregation?

2019-11-06 18:14:56 UTC  

Maybe it was before

2019-11-06 18:15:00 UTC  

the

2019-11-06 18:15:05 UTC  

switched

2019-11-06 18:17:17 UTC  

I was being sarcastic

@Beemann
> If they both eventually fail dont they both never work ever?
A. Your system doesn't "eventually fail", it never gets off the ground.
B. That's like asking if drinking water really works to hydrate you, since you eventually have to drink more water.
> Also it doesnt appear to be an eventuality.
Assuming you're not living in a fantasy world, it absolutely does.
> Consolidated power gets abused pretty quickly, while decentralised power takes time to centralize, all components being roughly equal
Not really. Additionally, decentralization makes accountability much harder. Finally, we were talking scope of government, not centralization.

2019-11-06 18:19:05 UTC  

I'm not sure what Beeman and Kevin are talking about.

2019-11-06 18:19:35 UTC  

Also I foresee taxes, gun laws, and comical redristricting comming soon to the Old Dominion.

2019-11-06 18:23:24 UTC  

@The Bitter Draught Dont you know the parties swtiched sometime after 1960 and before FDR?

2019-11-06 18:23:25 UTC  

The US ran the system I'm talking about, until it was undermined primarily in the last hundred years or so. Decentralization is a sliding scale. It's not dictatorship or ancapistan. Further,
1) decentralization means that you are ruled by a more-local body, which is more accountable
2) scope of government is a factor of centralizarion

2019-11-06 18:24:05 UTC  

@Beemann Coudn't you also describe it as the power of a local government who is more responsible vs a remote yet still authoritarian system?

2019-11-06 18:24:35 UTC  

Local can certainly be totalitarian or loose.

2019-11-06 18:25:00 UTC  

I wouldn’t describe it as a switch per se.
