RE: Democracy on the Line

Just because we have a crazy Electoral College doesn't change that fact that almost half the people in this country voted for someone else. That's not a landslide. You can dig into all the statistics you want to cast a shadow over that fact.

We have an Electoral College because the men who wrote the Constitution were landed gentry and didn't trust the people to vote wisely. Don't use that to alter the fact that almost half the people in the United States are unhappy with the outcome (47.7 Harris; 50.7 Trump). He would have won without the Electoral College, but the narrowness of his victory is more evident with a comparison of the true numbers.

If he rules (and he will rule) without regard for the wishes of 47.7 percent of the people, it will be not only a political disaster, but also a calamity for our democracy.

it will be not only a political disaster, but also a calamity for our democracy.

Well democrats despised and insulted conservatives and disregarded their wishes and they paid the toll, i doubt republicans will be this stupid.

I dont think democracy will ever degenerate into nothing more than an autocracy, democracy is not something i value in current form, why should a 18 year old female vote? Can´t buy a beer but can have a voice in the future? fuck that... If most people are retarded and stupid why should the intelligent among us suffer for their stupidity? It is unpopular to say it but i truly dont care anymore. The reason Trump got elected is the total disregard for common sense from leftie people, telling us that a dress makes you a woman, like it is some kind of disguise, among other stupid ideas... The more idiots try to contaminate woke, the more the rest of us will reject it...

why should a 18 year old female vote?

It's refreshing to have a discussion with a member of the elite, and a male to boot.

I am by no means elite, i just dont think being a male makes me oppressor, European does not make me colonizer, in fact white countries are colonized by africans nobody thinks that is odd... I also don't partake on the patriarchy bs... i can see young women today are mostly a surplus commodity, and believe anyone supporting this ethno masochist ideas is indeed the problem, and of course a very blind and stupid being
