Yeah bro, I know my early national history, you can stop being an internet tough guy about it. The argument that “they already have the power and don’t want to give it up, therefore, they will and should always have that same amount of power” was a shitty fucking argument for the House of Lords a hundred years ago,…

Yeah, it’s not like they’re not allowed to form their own drug policy or have terrible water rights problems because of this or anything recent, specific, and obvious like that

I’m afraid he might be right tho

Oh, so your problem is just with democracy, then?

But it’s NOT EQUAL! Is specifically and deliberately UNEQUAL REPRESENTATION!

So think we need to let Wyoming make decisions for Virginia because... The British are coming? Half the States would lose representation. Half the States would gain representation. But /people/ in every single state would gain representation. The math’s not hard. Don’t be stupid.

California has fifty two of the three hundred and thirty five seats in the representative house. That's hardly unimpeachable power.

THANK YOU

To be fair, if anyone knows a con game, it’s this shmuck.

I live in a state where Democrats have controlled every branch of government for 25 years. We don’t have single payer. We have a huge prison population. We have widespread disenfranchisement.

Dummy

Yeah, that’s not true. I’ve never seen a hard-fought primary where zero ideological considerations were at play, the way you describe, but I’ve seen many, many Congressional generals where a conservative Democrat and a moderate Republican avoided having clear platforms in the name of “bipartisanship” or “staying…

The fuck? There was an election that year, dummkopf. One where Hillary Clinton’s personal, long-standing strategy of totally ignoring the stated intentions of people to the right of her as long as it helped spite people to the left of her fucked us out of single payer for the first of three times to date? Remember…

Lol that’s not what your pullquote says at all dude, what even

Ooooor guys like him wouldn’t target them, because they’d be able to go to the police about it.

Well, no it isn’t “spiritually the same,” and I’m quite sure you haven’t heard it used that way even once. And are you deliberately missing the point that it’s the PHRASE “purity test” that’s deployed only by totalitarians? There’s no such thing as a purity test. It’s just an ideology other than your own. The…

Well, Christ, why even let the plebs vote in the first place if nobody actually thinks or believes anything? Seriously, fuck your sanctimonious, self-serving, anti-Democratic liberal bullshit. Do the rest of us a favor and take your own advice: sit out the primary with your ill-considered bullshit

Her move in 1994 was EXACTLY that

It’s not semantics so much as you not knowing what the fuck you’re talking about and there being no way to respond to something that’s not even wrong

This is devolving into actual gibberish. What, pray tell, do you think “public-private partnership” means? Because the electric company ain’t even close to being one of those. Or “purity test?” Did you just run out of scary buzzwords and figure “eh, close enough?” Way to “deliver the goods,” dumbass.
