Average tax payer saves $1000 per year. Fuck you retard if you think that means nothing.

You have said nothing but the standard Democrat talking point of Republicans steal elections blah blah blah, Republicans rig districts to make them more electable blah blah blah, never mind all the counter rigging the Democrats have done. You are a laughable caricature of someone claiming to be ‘non-partisan’ while…

The people you deem ‘haters’ aren’t the ones going around calling everyone not as enthused about the movie as them names like ‘piss-babies’ ‘cry-babies’ whiners, losers and every other name they can think of in their limited vocabulary. Some people didn’t like the movie and the choices the director and writer made.

I walked out of The Force Awakens nitpicking some stuff but not angry about anything and generally happy with the movie.

Gerrymandering has helped keep vast areas of the country blue too. Stop trying to say only the Republicans did it. The people absolutely elected a Republican President. The rules of the election were known to both sides before the vote. One side saw the system and how to win while the other side ignored states they…

Vote them out. There are scheduled elections every couple years. Don’t like the current results, elect someone else. One man one vote is still the law of the day no matter how much money you make.

They ran on the platform. They are enacting the platform. Voters knew what each party stood for in the 2016 election and they chose a Republican majority in both the House and Senate and a Republican President. You seem to think that your representative has to listen to you and your like-minded friends and only you.…

I never claimed anything otherwise. I simply rebutted the earlier poster who said what was happening wasn’t democratic. It is. Some just don’t like the results.

Last I checked the Republicans had a majority in both the Senate and House. As long as the votes fall along party line they have the majority of votes.

They have the majority in Congress and the Senate. Shouldn’t they thus ‘get their way’?

You have a poor opinion about democracy. I suspect you’re still a little sore after getting your hopes up last November. There are presidential elections every 4 years, Congress every 2. You’ll get another chance to vote then. You need to find better ways to deal with setbacks other than threatening to shoot…

Vote them out next year. Until then they have the democratic right to enact the legislation they see fit.

Oh, I didn’t realize only the rich and powerful had a vote? Do they get to vote multiple times too? Or is it still one person, one vote? Did I miss them changing the voting laws to give someone with more money than me more votes?

Just because you don’t get the result you wanted doesn’t mean it’s not a democracy. Was it a democracy when the Democrats were passing legislation against the wishes of the Republicans? Democracy doesn’t depend on only your side getting its way.

The people elect a representative. If they feel that representative isn’t representing them properly they can elect a new one. In the interim their representative is not bound to vote any particular way.

I’m in favor of 51 votes being enough to pass anything in the Senate. A majority is a majority. There is nothing special about 60 in my opinion.

See, in the US, the party who wins the most seats in elections for the House of Representatives and the Senate get to decide on legislation which are called bills. If the content of the ‘bills’ is popular enough among the elected representatives of the people the bill is passed and becomes law when the President signs…

And well they should. Anyone interfering with the function of the democratic process should be thrown in jail. And if they assault elected officials they may well be shot.

What decorum and respect the Left has for democracy. Such a shining example of how to be fucking sore losers. Fuck off and die losers.

Rian Johnson made Luke into a nephew murdering asshole because his script had Luke be a nephew murdering asshole. Johnson clearly didn’t see the first three movies, has no idea who or what Luke Skywalker was and simply wrote him to be an insane moron because he wanted to shit on Star Wars.
