How did the Democrats cheat? By not voting for an insurgent that wouldn't even join the party. I don't think Bernie would have won. Plenty would have been just as willing to believe the lies slung about him as they were those spread about Hillary.

Here's a couple of upstanding Clinton tactics. I'm pretty sure there is lots more out there.

-------------------------
Specializing in sarcasm and condescending rhetoric since 1971.

We can rant about millennials till the cows come home and it won't matter in the least.

Time will kill all of us and they will run the country.

The beauty is the fact that they hate Trump and the current Republicans, so once they get used to voting, Democrats will have a long, long run in charge. I'll take European socialists over Fascist pricks any day.

-------------------------
I was right.

You forgot one problem with that....idiot!

While young they are pretty brainless.

That's exactly what you prog liberal commies prey on!

They get older and smarten up.

That's where you are screwed.

-------------------------
The REAL truth is....both of the forum idiots are OWNED.
-BOTH of them have no clue who their owner is.
-They are both card carrying narcissists.
^These are PROVED facts.

I'm considerably smarter than you and I've had the same political convictions for more than 30 years.

Millennials:

They don't care that gays get married.

They don't care if Trans people have their own bathroom.

The aren't religious.

They understand personal rights afforded by the Constitution.

They are more inclusive when it comes to race.

Basically, they are polar opposites of you Trumpublicans and in time, they will make the rules.

I was right.

No your not!

Liar!

I totally agree on term limits being necessary, and that Citizens United should be overturned.

I'm gonna throw a Balanced Budget amendment into this thread as well, as something essential to a stable democracy. One of the benefits of a BB is that you can't kick the can down the road with deficits (and buying votes via unsustainable benefits) that will supposedly be paid back in the future. That means all budget votes relate to the "here and now" and it's easier to hold politicians accountable.

Well most of the ranting isn't about millennials despite it being the topic of the link, it is about our broken ass government. Sadly, Democrats aren't the solution either because they too are bought and paid for. It doesn't matter if you vote D or R because when you do, you are only voting for the status quo.

If you question democracy then just look at Singapore and you will question it even more.

-------------------------
Ah, religion, bigotry dressed up as morality.

Well party loyalty is just more tribalism. Vote for the candidate who best represents your values, and don't worry about party.

It just so happens for most contests the Dem aligns more closely with my values. But as a party, if they don't ouste the Pelosi-Schumer-Schultz types they can't expect to win just on being anti-trump.

Here is the OBX solution to achieve a government run by it's people, and not the other way around:

1. Term limits no more that 4yrs. (maybe 8)
2. The populace votes on 3 candidates to represent them for the House. 1 candidate is the incumbent (if he hasn't served more than 4 or 8yrs), and the other two are randomly selected from the populace.
3. To be on the list for random selection, you must meet a certain criteria  For example:

Legal Citizen

Non-felon

minimal of a HS diploma (or equivalent)

4. Once someone is selected, they undergo a background check, (similar to what is done to obtain a TS clearance).
5. There is a monetary cap on donations/funds for campaigning, once selected.
6. While serving, they draw a salary that is agreed upon by the populace that is no more, or no less than the lowest/highest income of the randomly selected person. (or within a standard deviation of the median).
7. If you are not doing your job as a congressmen, you are not paid.

If I am not mistaken, Greece (or Rome) randomly selected people to serve in the House. Their Congress comprised of farmers, blacksmiths, generals, doctors, etc... Truly, a government of the people.

Oh yea, Rusty, Cole, WG, and anyone else infected with libtardism are forbidden for consideration.......

I can't tell if that's a parody actual thinking.
Or if there is a difference that matters.

Democracy sucks.  It sucks even more when a nation practicing it is run by two corrupt, lying and stealing policial parties looking to use your own tax dollars to buy your vote, all while attempting to exert their control over you.  The eventaul result is always tyranny.

Long live the Republic

 

 

 

Tyranny naturally arises out of democracy. - Plato

Looks like Trump is souring you on your beloved Republican party.

It's about time. Trump is a fucking kook.

Well, we're planning a lesson in democracy this year.

-------------------------
“It is the heart of US policy to use fascism to preserve capitalism while claiming to be saving democracy from communism “ - Michael Parenti

"However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."
? George Washington

The majority of population is unhappy with congress, yet they continue to vote for the very same people they claim are doing a poor job.

If you don't like what they do, stop putting them in the majority.

Hey now.... Cole, we CAN agree on something more than just environmental issues.
