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?
am i to understand you didn't post "I identify as a 50's ish republican woman"? @Braydon
Ok. I'll add that.
hawt
lmao
@LEER Some of it is with good intention, but so is the road to hell paved with such
@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
Done
so i googled "patriotic boobs"
because of course I did
Ohboy.
Did you find some Iowa-Class tiddies?
put it in shitposting
@ArdBoy the road of good intentions thing is easy to say, but do you not have good intentions too?
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.
But beleif and reality are not always congruent
Do Americans.... not understand the purpose of the structure of the senate and the electoral college?
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.
@xorgy Most Americans, sadly, couldn't manage to pass a basic civics course.
A passing grade for civics should be 100%
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.
At least in germany the education system is not the problem, it's that people don't care...
Leaving _middle_ school with an incomplete or incorrect understanding of the basic structure of the federal government should not be possible.
TBH, I think the US political system could probably be solved by one modification
Runoff Voting.
runoff voting at what level?
Yes.
Runoff voting for senators?
^Retention is an issue
For electors?
I wish I could just post that jojo gif of "yes yes yes yes yes yes yes"
First past the post is #problematic
At what level?
At the senate/house race level?
Election procedures are state law in the US.
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.
yeah, you can get IRV in your state if you want.
