@japan_nobunaga This reply will probably not make it to you through all the idiots posting responses, but in America there is a thing called the filibuster in the senate that requires 60 votes to overcome for most bills. Changing this tradition would have consequences.
@breakeroffaces@WilliamEHillis@SeattleIndepen1 I know that war is evil, but it's not going away anytime soon. And police get paid. If we're the police time to pay up, especially alliances like NATO that have never offered us net benefit.
@breakeroffaces@WilliamEHillis@SeattleIndepen1 Proposed solution is disenfranchise people who benefit from public welfare and make wars net profitable. If we save a countries ass from dictators that country needs to pay f the cost and then some.
@breakeroffaces@WilliamEHillis@SeattleIndepen1 Suicidal empathy, communists and perverse incentives are all killing us. How does voting in the party that most strongly represents all of those things help solve the problem?
@WilliamEHillis@SeattleIndepen1 Complain about the jews all you want, people voting for welfare over national interest are the main problem. Look at the percentage of the budget that goes toward social security, disability, medicare and medicaid.
@WilliamEHillis@SeattleIndepen1 Very basic and flawed worldview. The parties overlap some but to believe they're the same is truly ignorance. This is why net receivers of government funds shouldn't be able to vote.
@politicalmath I hate communists. Democrats are communist adjacent and sometimes actual by definition communists (DSA.) What's the point of punishing the Republicans by handing authority over to leftists? What good can come of that?
@bmiranda24@CynicalPublius@megbasham My irl friend has been saying the same thing. I've been told that legacy media is still strongly influencing normies, hard to believe when the only exposure I get to it is the financial newspaper.
@sanson_ganbaru My interpretation of Christianity is that it calls for direct personal action. Most leftists want the government to take action on their behalf.
