US Voter Supression

[ROB]

And apparently, what's best for you is for the Democratic President's coke head son to get rich off peddling influence and access to his father. Remember, it's all about the people!

Jesus titty fucking christ, it's like you can't even see the irony.

But pure democracy does not exist, however a democratic process does, and everyone within the territory of the governed should be able to participate.

Pure democracy as in one where every citizen participates is different than voting for a representative. Representative Democracy is closer to what we have. Hence voting.

Now, what is wrong with adult citizens voting for Representatives? Are there too many voters? If so, how do you figure? How do you propose to restrict voting so as to limit what you feel is damaging to the country by having every adult vote?

The myth Democrats believe about themselves is that they are just trying to help. That is why they get all pissy when someone shows that what they thought would help actually hurt or made a situation worse. Many examples exist but the one I like to use is distribution of "aid". I have yet to go to a country that receives "aid" and find people other than criminals who favor US aid, or any aid coming in.

The myth Republicans believe is they are "Protecting" something. Even so much so that when that armed Trump mob surrounded the Biden campaign bus in Texas they claimed they were "protecting" it.

It's good when people help. It's good when people protect. The danger comes when folks lack introspection to the point that they later come to embrace the destructive side of their myth rather than try o excise it.

You know, my whole life I was taught to believe that the US was the leader of the free world. I believed that. I don't believe that any more.

Someone is paying for it, and if those receiving taxpayer funds outnumber those who actually contribute to the tax coffers, and their votes are allowed to hold as much weight, than it is only a matter of time before the economy collapses due to wasteful fiscal policies. This has historically always resulted in a dictatorship.

In other words - socialize costs & privatize profits. Then throw in a dash of christofascist theocracracy to justify the whole mess. That seems like the definition of a failed state to me.

Just for the rehabilitation officer's record, you people are all legally adult, right?

Sick burn.

With a point.
