Democracy is at risk

[kyzr]

Many of these voting laws are an over reaction to start with.

Agreed. But our democracy is no where near at stake

But but but the government was almost overthrown on Jan 6th in the greatest threat to democracy since that attack on Pearl Harbor.

Civil War...

Meh, lets just divide the country and Dems can do whatever they want on their side of the border. Dems need us we don't need Dems we'll live happily ever after without Dems and the slime left.

If it weren't for the blue states you would be hurting and if it weren't for the Fed gov.

Why is that? Don't make a statement without proving it.

 

[BluesLegend]

Don't make a statement without proving it.

Millions of Dems just screamed in agony.

Once again, quit using the idiotic expression "our democracy." It is neither yours, nor is it a democracy.

Huh? What are you talking about?

Come on man, you know the thing. The almost everyone died insurrection on Jan 6th that nearly ended all human life on planet earth.

If that’s how you want to explain it then fine but your sounding pretty dramatic

In one way I agree but when you consider who it is doing all of this and ask yourself why we keep electing them it leads to the conclusion.

That’s a campaign finance issue which I think needs huge reform as it fosters nothing but corruption

How much did you get for your vote?

Nothing. Why?

Then money isn't the problem.

It’s both mine and yours and a democracy. Be grateful for the country you’re lucky enough to live in. Do you realize how much people sacrifice for the opportunity to live here?

Of course it is. You thought I was talking about paying people to vote?! No, I’m talking about politicians spending all their time fund raising to campaign instead of doing their jobs

I'm mocking Dems and the liberal news media.

Just saying "don't do it," is not going to end it. We need to reorganize the government to properly deliberate issues. The three-part separation theory is improperly deployed and cannot handle the sophistication and diversity that the society has evolved to.

Very interesting point. What do you recommend?

I recommend that we begin figuring out the rules for deliberating issues here at USMB.

If not, then here at US4CC.net

I think campaign financing is a major player in the corruption. I’d start there

No. I highly recommend you start by recognizing a better separation schematic of the government. The checks and balances theory is probably a valid theory, but if there is any error in the separation schematic, then the balance of power is skewed and the checks on power are inaccurate.

Just because the guardians of the Constitution say that there are checks and balances, that does not mean they work correctly.

The entire government is a jalopy - it only works, because it is too big to fail. The principles described in the preamble are good, but the operations fail to achieve those goals, because it is a jalopy. You have heard politicians describe the Congress as "broken," they just don't know how to fix it. And it just goes on, and on. The expansion of government security departments and changes to the legislatures diluted the legislatures' sovereignty (claims of power), and enhanced the partisanship quest for power (deep state).

It is quite possible that the Democrats are intent on breaking it completely, because that will cause the commencement for reordering the government.

Congress is broken because those running it are more concerned with PR and fundraising than actually getting stuff done. That’s why our system is broken

You're deluding yourself. We would all be much richer if we didn't have to turn over 50% of our income to one branch of government or another.

The less Congress does the better.

Our system is broken because it requires 60 votes in the Senate to get anything done. If you have 60 votes, then you probably have 95+ votes. IT means nothing gets done without unanimous consent...that isn't how Democracy is supposed to work.

But this system of filibustering to stop all legislation works for the politicians. They can make any idiotic promises they want to the voters because they know that nothing ever gets passed. They pretend to fight the good fight, but never win...but they can always blame the other side.

If it weren't for the filibuster, politicians would have NO EXCUSE. They'd have to live up to their promises...then let the public judge the outcome.

Any if you didn't pay taxes who would print the money that you love so much?
