The U.S. needs a democracy overhaul. Here’s what Biden’s first step should be.

[BidenPresident]

A straight popular vote is a horrid idea. It is worse than the 17th Amendment that turned the Senate into a second House rather than a body that represents the States as int

You oppose democracy. I know.

Or maybe we could take the example of the Super delegate from the Democrat party since they are all about fairness in voting and one person one vote. You know,....that way 2 candidates can run against each other in a particular state,...hold an election, have the people vote,....then when one candidate wins EVERY SINGLE COUNTY in the state the super delegate can say....." Hey citizens,...FUCK YOU! Your vote doesnt matter and is only symbolic because Im delegating this states votes to the losing candidate!" You mean something fair an honest like that?

What is this anecdote related to and if you want someone opposed to you to embrace it, they won't, or at least I don't. I wonder why BidenPresident appears to have such contempt for you?

 

[T. A. Gardner]

You oppose democracy. I know.

No, I oppose Direct Democracy which amounts to mob rule. The US shouldn't be run by a high school election which is what a direct popular vote amounts to. Our leaders shouldn't be solely selected in a popularity contest like they were on some reality TV series...

 

[Micawber]

Don't agree. Trump is still threatening to stay in office. We have an immediate crisis.

Well, we'll see what he does. Look, if getting rid of alcohol for a few years took a freaking
constitutional amendment, an election overhaul will certainly take (another one) as well as the participation of all the states
to align their election laws. I don't see it.

What we need to do is to go after all the liars in the fake media nd deprogram and educate these morons on the right to be capable of critical thought.
And a good bit of couch time for their collective anger management issues would not hurt one bit.

I have a great idea to ensure fair elections you lefties are so positive are rigged against you.

1. No mail in ballots of any kind, all votes must be in person. (Can't get to the polls tough.)
2. No registering as a political party member. All voters party is known to the voter only.
3. Photo ID needed to vote. (Don't have a photo ID tough.)
4. Each person who votes must dip their thumb in indelible ink that cannot be washed off. (prevents double voting.)
5. All votes must be counted in the presence of 3 people and tallies must be initialed by all.

That should make you cry babies happy.

PS.
In case you didn't get it the above is sarcasm! Our system works just fine as it is.

Got it. You oppose democracy.

 

[Micawber]

He fears treating people he does not identify with as equals before the law. White entitlement complex.

 

[T. A. Gardner]

Got it. You oppose democracy.

Why do you want mob rule so bad?

 

[BidenPresident]

It may be easier to rewrite the entire Constitution.

 

[BidenPresident]

Why do you want mob rule so bad?

"Mob rule" is your term.

 

[T. A. Gardner]

"Mob rule" is your term.

Mob rule is accurate.

 

[BidenPresident]

He fears treating people he does not identify with as equals before the law. White entitlement complex.

Agree with the first sentence. Not sure about the second, but you may be correct.

 

[BartenderElite]

It's not mob rule, or even direct democracy.

How can you call it "mob rule"?

 

[Micawber]

I have a great idea to ensure fair elections you lefties are so positive are rigged against you.

1. No mail in ballots of any kind, all votes must be in person. (Can't get to the polls tough.) No
2. No registering as a political party member. All voters party is known to the voter only. Indifferent, need to think about
3. Photo ID needed to vote. (Don't have a photo ID tough.) Yes, but gubmint must roll it out and make sure everyone gets one at gubmint expense.
4. Each person who votes must dip their thumb in indelible ink that cannot be washed off. (prevents double voting.) OK
5. All votes must be counted in the presence of 3 people and tallies must be initialed by all. Impracticable, you pay for that and I don't have to and I'm OK with it. Your suspicions are based on nothing but the projection of your own evil impulses to cheat.

That should make you cry babies happy. LOL. You lost and are contesting an 8 million vote blowout.

PS.
In case you didn't get it the above is sarcasm! Our system works just fine as it is.

OK content within, so which changes do you think really need to be made?

 

[BidenPresident]

Mob rule is accurate.

That is what I meant. You use it. I do not.

 

[BidenPresident]

It's not mob rule, or even direct democracy.

How can you call it "mob rule"?

Gardner hates being called a fascist, but he is more sympathetic to fascism than democracy.

She doesnt like my anecdote. The sting is still fresh for her as a Bernie supporter. She doesnt like being reminded of the totally corrupt system the D party uses in its primaries because it disenfranchised her. Maybe she even realizes that it makes D's look foolish when they want to change federal election law while continuing to use an intentionally corrupt primary system that totally disenfranchises its own voters. Yep..... pretty sure that could be a big part of it.

 

[Micawber]

How can you call it "mob rule"?

Because he wants to make people freely and easily voting on an equal basis to determine a leader to sound bad, so he labels them a "mob."
If it's his "mob," well that's different, they are salt of the earth pillars of the community.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

So you want it replaced because you lost. But I still want it replaced even though I won. So that is not a funny observation because it's false.
It's called having principles and integrity, and you prove you have them by holding onto them when they result in something against your own interest.
The electoral college is an instrument that perturbs elections away from democratic results. The task for someone who supports the electoral college is to explain
what principle is served by being less democratic than we could be.

No it's not false! You are one of the minority leftist morons that advocate mob rule. Tell you what. Let's go by state not state population. 1 state 1 vote the winner of the most states wins. Then we would have a truly fair system. You want a stacked deck in that the majority of the most populated states normally go to the Democrat. Sorry sport we see right through your BS.

Bernie didn't win. Biden won bigly over Bernie. And Trump would have beat Bernie, so I'm not sympathetic. That result was a fair outcome.
The most popular candidate of all is the President this time.
