What democracy why does everybody keep saying that we have a democracy or a democratic system? We have a republican system. Do your homework or maybe they didn’t cover that in high school where you went to school at. A republic is a form of government in which citizens elect representatives to govern on their behalf. This is the form of government we have in America!
You are fucking stupid. Do you know what a democratic republic is? Are you having an aneurysm because democracy sounds like democrat? Is that why you’re continuing to push this ridiculous narrative that “the US isn’t a democracy. If it was a democracy then the people I don’t like could vote”
Yeah, we have a Democratic Republic buddy, I know that your party has switched the first word to “Constitutional” instead of Democratic so they can justify whatever they want without popular support, but that’s not gonna work on anyone with more than two braincells to rub together.
Was there just a massive gas leak in the US that caused half of America to completely forget nuance exists. Yeah no shit people are having a laugh when the 80 year old that has spent the past 30 years making people’s lives hell. Yeah fuck him and he shouldn’t be in office. It’s so dumb that you people refuse to admit that bad people exist and that some people should be ridiculed for being terrible. Sorry that means people are going to ridicule republicans
We are talking bad on these people because talking bad on these people is a key feature of a functioning democracy. I hate this notion that we can’t be mean to the people who are supposed to represent us. If there’s anyone who deserves the condemnation of the masses when they fuck up, it is politicians.
Okay maybe that’s true. So maybe we should force all the elderly to step down who are majority democrats by the way. I agree that we need a younger cohort in representing us. The old democrats just dont know what to say anymore they are brainwashed. All I’m saying is we shouldn’t be harassing the elderly in public. We need to have respect for them.
I mean, what would be called a “Small R republican” and a “Republican” are entirely different, “small r republican” means “believes in a system of government that is a Republic” whereas “Capital R Republican” means “Member of the Republican Party” and I think taking any party on the definition of its name is fucking ridiculous
I mean, even if I take ideology out of the equation and just talk about practicalities, the fact that when a SCOTUS Justice died with one President, having a YEAR left in office, and he said “we can’t confirm in an election year, we’ll let the people decide” and then when a different President had a SCOTUS justice die mere WEEKS before the election he rushed a pick through, that’s a scumbag move, which I resent.
That’s not our checks and balances. That’s Trump being an asshole and screwing over the American people. No president before him had ever appointed a justice in an election year. Plenty had the opportunity but chose to let the people decide. But we can’t have people criticizing Trump now can we
So again, you’re saying don’t go to the polls because voting for a candidate that won’t receive 5% of the vote is not going to solve anything. Guess what, that’s exactly what you did last election and guess what happened? A fascist is now in office because you had to do your little “I’m smarter than everyone else so I won’t vote”
BC YALL R NOT GIVING THE RIGHT PPL TRACTION😭😭😭 bernie sanders is a perfect example of how 3rd party can win and still make a name for themselves. u start small and make a big change. it doesn’t happen overnight. especially now when both parties r in shambles. herd mentality is what gets everyone killed
Bernie was under the democrats. 3rd party can’t win under this system. The fascists aren’t going to vote 3rd party, all you’re doing is splitting the left into 2 camps of infighting where nothing gets solved while the right gets to do whatever they want with no pushback. We can’t wait 60-70 years to solve these problems and just let the republicans run the country into the ground in the meantime
Hitler came into power because of your dumbass mentality. There are 2 options. I chose the one that was significantly better. You chose fascism. Take accountability for your mistakes and stop putting the blame on me. The Green Party isn’t going to ever win anything and I don’t want them to either
No, it’s called being logical and realistic. Your only plan is “just vote 3rd party”, but realistically you’d have to convince the majority of both parties to do the same. So what exactly is your plan on unifying both sides, I’d love to hear it because that seems to be the million dollar question everyone is asking in this day and age.
did i say i have a plan? did i claim to be a politician? no. THEY HAVE TO MAKE A NAME FOR THEMSELVES. THEY DO. not us. all these third parties i’ve never heard of BC THEY DONT DO ANYTHING SUBSTANTIAL. it’s not hard to make big connections, especially in politics when it makes someone look good
Well if you’re pushing voting 3rd party you should at least have a general understanding or outline of what you think is the optimal outcome for voting 3rd party. So your plan really just boils down to “Vote 3rd party”. So quick question, how’d that go last time? Did any 3rd party candidate make a name for themselves enough to convince both democrats and republicans to vote for them? I know you know the answers to both of those questions—-
Like genuinely please expand upon your points as to why ppl should vote third party. Your points so far essentially boil down to: The heard mentality is killing is —-> break the mentality by voting 3rd party——> *can’t give reasons other than two party system is bad (which is obvious)*——> then when asked, what’s the plan to realistically unite the two parties to get them to vote for a 3rd party you respond——-> “I never claimed I had a plan, that’s the candidates job”.
I also forgot to mention the part in which you admit that no 3rd party candidate has gained the necessary traction to pull in and entice voters from both sides of the isle. So at the end of the day, the plan is to vote third party and promote 3rd party and then… just cross your fingers and hope the right 3rd party candidate comes along to do the job. If I’m missing anything please let me know.
Claptraps I good one I’m stealing that from you. But what I mean isn’t that I feel bad for him specifically. i know exactly how shitty he is and what he’s done, and I hate him. But watching old people fall takes me out of my rage. I can’t rage while watching someone so old and decrepit turn to dust before my eyes. I feel like I lose dignity when I waste my time hating on a mf like that. But he’s in a political position so he should fuckin take it or retire
babe, i got better things to do than sit on yikyak and argue to a brick wall and say the same thing over and over again to get no where to a bigot. it’s not gonna work, and nor do i actually care. the fact that u care sm 3 days later is actually depressing and shows u have no life. find one then get back to me sweetheart
