Tim Walz calls for scrapping of electoral college to decide US presidential race
  • I’m sick?I don’t love my neighbor? You think you can talk to me like I’m a monster?

    Not getting rid of ec :: because I believe that it’s too easy to sway public opinion one way or another and there should be protections in place for communities that are smaller than say, NYC.

    Not increasing the minimum wage :: because I believe that this will cause our already rising cost of living to increase faster.

    Not taxing the fuck out of corps for an arbitrary profit margin :: because that’s a persons entire life. That could be you. It could be my son. It could be the girl at the local mosque who was raised in foster care and worked her ass off to become successful. And then some little ant online thinks it’s okay to tax the fuck outta her just because she’s done something with her life.

    PLEASE. I’m begging you please tell my how I’m the monster.

  • Yeah man I’m all for killing monopolies. Hasn’t happened, won’t happen. Money drives the world, those monopolies are spending a considerable amount of their time and money lobbying the gov to make it so they can make MORE money, not less.

    Now. If we also get rid of lobbying and make it a federal offense or treason to manipulate the legislative branch for monetary incentives, we got something.

  • It’s pretty simple really. Raising the minimum wage will cause inflation to everything else to balance out and we will be right back where we started. People can’t afford anything. But now with even higher and overly inflated prices.

    That’s just how economics works. None of that trickle down bs or any other partisan view.

    Simple cause and effect, and scarcity.

  • If any idiot here can’t tell your being sarcastic, that’s their issue.

    But yes actually. Some things shouldn’t change. From what I’ve studied/learned we really were the first of our style of government. It’s been successful thus far, when plenty of other systems have come and gone.

    Also just because the core of our system shouldn’t be changed doesn’t mean other things should/couldnt/havent changed. Soooo don’t put words in my mouth 👍

    You said it best, why try to improve on perfection?

  • Because it’s not ‘incredibly shit’ it’s just not what you want it to be. It was designed to not allow mob rule. And it’s done a pretty good job at it.

    Just because something doesn’t do what you want it to do doesn’t mean it’s bad.
