Ratings is not truth
Ken Paxton is the Texas Attorney General
It was found by the texas secretary of state
And the American judiciary often votes in judicial positions
AH HA i got my question finally, why do people give up freedom for order? wait... something would have to drive them to that... so they are giving up freedom from security...but we get told thats bad...
I’m not saying it’s wrong. Only I don’t know it’s right
Now, keep in mind, during the 2016 elections
some were worried that texas might go blue
Wonderful, did it effect the outcome?
if this shit goes unchecked, texas may aswell go blue
Right but it’s not an issue at this time, nor has it been, correct?
It currently is an issue
What effect does it cause?
now in shit like california its not an issue
Your govt is in shutdown
because its fucking cali they will be blue no matter what
@CronoSaturn Im talking about the future
Right but there are significant problems right now
Probably solve those first yeah?
why not also stop shit that could be a problem in the future
aite, back to the discussion of democracy
I think the inability for citizens, be it trump or any other leader, to provide and back a clear mandate is concerning
Is this relating to current problems, or your view on democracy vs authoritarianism
I don’t agree with the wall but that was his platform and so the govt shutting down due to lack of consensus is an issue
And both, the people are failing themselves
And that is my problem with democracy, the people voted trump in
but the other people is slowing shit down
Given the swing much of them are the same people
Democracy divides the people and prevents any real progress
Washington warned us
dont form parties he said
and what did we do? we formed parties
which clearly shows that the general populace is not smart enough to be a reliable decider of policies
The ironic thing is, both the republicans and democrats are nearly the same
just differing on some issues
unless someone like Bernie wins it will just be the extension of the status quo
Democrats: Gun control, healthcare, palestine, racial issues
Republicans: no gun control, lowering taxes, israel
Parties are a natural emergence from establishing coalitions and Washington is not the authority on democracy. And this is the issue. America is a highly capable country as is. Very little needs to be changed
The problem really seems to be representative democracy
