  • Nobody says we must maintain some “pure” system. For an already existing example, passing a constitutional amendment is far, far more difficult than regular legislation. Is that undemocratic? By the most “pure” definition, yes. It’s far from just letting everything be decided by 50+1 popular vote. Or hell, even the fact that we have representatives we elect instead of using direct democracy for everything.

    Limiting democracy doesn’t mean just installing a dictator or something. It can be as simple as placing some issues beyond the reach of majoritatian whims. I never see any of the people crying about democracy upset that their free speech isn’t under question of majoritatian will.











  • So you’re being genuine when you’ve told people elsewhere on this thread to kill themselves?

    Yes. I believe the world would be better off without them. Disagree if you like, nothing wrong with that, but im of the opinion that fixing our problems in any real capacity is going to require that we stop putting the focus on being polite and proper.

    I’m not concerned about your, or their, comment history. I’m concerned with this specific thread, since you’ve said numerous time that they’ve lied specially in this thread.

    Sure, but the primary axis of his lies regard his claims about me based on my history. Primarily, that I have not made this post, or any for that matter, in good faith.

    I mean, I can completely understand why people think that those that voted for Trump are bigots

    If being a bigot is just a matter of opinion, what’s the point in calling people it at all? Might as well be just another insult if the criteria is just whatever someone feels like at the moment, especially if the person in question doesn’t actually meet the proper definition of the term.





  • The repeal of Roe v Wade

    Which has nothing to do with the topic. The fundamental question of the abortion debate is one of life and responsibility. Not the spam CNN feeds you about sexism.

    Endorsement of a president who has had multiple sexual assault suits against him

    Irrelevant, not a policy position

    The GOPs refusal to adhere to court orders about redistributing Alabama because it’s gerrymandered to have the majority of the black population in one district. This minimizes the representation they’re able to have.

    The court is not an automatic source of justice. Frequently the opposite.

    Florida trying to ban healthcare for adults because they’re afraid of trans people

    Isn’t happening

    The Supreme Court openly saying that gay marriage is something the conservative justices would like to revisit

    Because it was an insanely flimsy case on crappy logic.

    There’s countless more examples of the party endorsing and supporting racist, homophobic, transphobic and sexist policies.

    If they’re as bad as your last set of examples, don’t bother
