There. My Twitter's name is NinjaLite and I have added the shit.

2018-10-10 15:01:17 UTC  

Professional Shitposter, Otaku who hates everyone equally, and politically incorrect.

Don't you think all form of heavy government regulation like firearms amounts to the belief that the dumb plebs can't be trusted not to hurt themselves with their freedom?

2018-10-10 15:01:32 UTC  

am i to understand you didn't post "I identify as a 50's ish republican woman"? @Braydon

2018-10-10 15:01:46 UTC  

Ok. I'll add that.

2018-10-10 15:01:50 UTC  

hawt

2018-10-10 15:01:50 UTC  

lmao

2018-10-10 15:01:53 UTC  

@LEER Some of it is with good intention, but so is the road to hell paved with such

2018-10-10 15:02:27 UTC  

@Braydon ur mentions are going to be filled with a bunch of dudes in their 60's who are divorced and feminists calling you a servant of the patriarchy

2018-10-10 15:03:17 UTC  

Done

2018-10-10 15:03:32 UTC  

so i googled "patriotic boobs"

2018-10-10 15:03:38 UTC  

because of course I did

2018-10-10 15:03:40 UTC  

Ohboy.

2018-10-10 15:03:53 UTC  

Did you find some Iowa-Class tiddies?

2018-10-10 15:03:54 UTC  

put it in shitposting

2018-10-10 15:04:37 UTC  

@ArdBoy the road of good intentions thing is easy to say, but do you not have good intentions too?

2018-10-10 15:05:16 UTC  

Well, that's the thing. You need to recognize that, in many cases, people who call for these things are scared, frustrated, or genuinely beleive they will make a positive change.

2018-10-10 15:05:25 UTC  

But beleif and reality are not always congruent

2018-10-10 15:06:02 UTC  

Do Americans.... not understand the purpose of the structure of the senate and the electoral college?

2018-10-10 15:06:14 UTC  

When an action's intent is to foster a good end, but it's result is the inverse, it is not by act of malice, but of ignorance.

2018-10-10 15:06:35 UTC  

@xorgy Most Americans, sadly, couldn't manage to pass a basic civics course.

2018-10-10 15:06:46 UTC  

Blame a genuinely awful education system.

2018-10-10 15:07:38 UTC  

A passing grade for civics should be 100%

2018-10-10 15:07:40 UTC  

But yeah, the way I tend to be able to make headway on political stuff like this is by being painfully reasonable, respecting and recognizing that a person's frustrations are valid, but that we disagree on how to resolve the frustration.

2018-10-10 15:07:49 UTC  

At least in germany the education system is not the problem, it's that people don't care...

2018-10-10 15:08:12 UTC  

Leaving _middle_ school with an incomplete or incorrect understanding of the basic structure of the federal government should not be possible.

2018-10-10 15:08:14 UTC  

TBH, I think the US political system could probably be solved by one modification

2018-10-10 15:08:18 UTC  

Runoff Voting.

2018-10-10 15:08:25 UTC  

runoff voting at what level?

2018-10-10 15:08:28 UTC  

Yes.

2018-10-10 15:08:43 UTC  

@xorgy you know people get tested and pass and then forget

2018-10-10 15:08:49 UTC  

Runoff voting for senators?

2018-10-10 15:08:50 UTC  

^Retention is an issue

2018-10-10 15:08:53 UTC  

For electors?

2018-10-10 15:09:12 UTC  

I wish I could just post that jojo gif of "yes yes yes yes yes yes yes"

2018-10-10 15:09:14 UTC  

@LEER They should at least remember when they test, though.

2018-10-10 15:09:34 UTC  

First past the post is #problematic

2018-10-10 15:09:41 UTC  

At what level?

2018-10-10 15:10:20 UTC  

At the senate/house race level?

2018-10-10 15:10:23 UTC  

Election procedures are state law in the US.

2018-10-10 15:10:26 UTC  

Well, I'd like to leave the option for the states to do as they please, but on a federal level, all popular vote decisions should be via runoff.
