And for that, my respect for the United States remains strong (at least, my respect for the Spirit of America)
Sir, this is a Wendy’s
Its a troll account, see their other posts.
They’re looking for attention. Just block and move on
I’m aware. It’s fun to respond, sometimes.
My dude, the US constitution specifically permits slavery.
The US constitution was written to protect slavers and oligarchs from the masses, not to actually provide democracy. Less than 7% of the population was even legally allowed to vote at our founding, and without the senate and electoral college, the US might actually be a real, functional modern state instead of publicly funded security force for corporations, oligarchs, and whoever has blackmail material on the pedophile in chief. We need to rewrite the whole thing from scratch after the current regime is deposed to make sure nothing remotely like what’s happening now can ever happen again.
Yeah nah they want two houses. It’s the system they operate under that’s the issue.
Under a better functioning one, two houses provide screening of legislation. This has stopped bad legislation getting through in Australia a few times.
Ditching the electoral process and the electoral college for ranked choice and a Senate selection system similar to how some Westminster style governments run would be a big help.
I singled out the senate because it gives a state full of uninhabited desert and meth labs the same representation as California, a state larger than most countries. This is wildly anti-democratic and frankly stupid. I don’t care whether there are two houses to the legislature, but if an upper house needs to exist for whatever reason, obviously it should proportion representation directly to population.
Yeah I thought the rationale may have been connected to local history and knowledge, just didn’t know what exactly
I’m so grateful for our Senate, they have stopped some awful things being passed. That said, it’s let us down a couple times as well.
Unfortunately one huge weakness we have here is one of the majors, the Labor Party, makes decisions in their caucus on bills and not the floor, which means quite often their Senators are voting against their personal will or abstaining. While its upside means they have unity as a party, its downside is that party doesn’t always have our interests at heart.
The big problem in the US is now that if you fight for the constitution, you automatically fight against the government.
A piece of paper is just a piece of paper. Lots of pretty ones out there.
I was raised on a lot of fine ideals. Even though the scales have fallen from my eyes, I still like what America was supposed to be. I know there’s no America where there are no cats and the streets are paved with cheese, but I still think there should be one. So to speak.
Fucking glowwie psyop
Fuck Joe Biden.
