Trapezium Dave posted:Rall: It's Democratic If the Constitution Says It Gee, Ted, why does that section say someone can be removed? You think that might be relevant to the discussion? Also, didn't Rall just do a cartoon a couple of weeks ago about how democracy sucks anyway? Shouldn't he, therefore, be in favor of undemocratic policies?

You're forgetting that the most important thing is that Tod Roll is so controversial that he doesn't agree with anything in the mainstream. Many people are saying things similar to what he may or may not have said years ago, so Tad can't possibly agree with those things now. In summary Guavanaut posted:Eat poo poo Ted.

The common element of Rall's arguments are his work as a Russian propagandist, in this case in favor of trump, and more broadly toward civic disengagement. This is why there's been alignment with the general GOP cleavage approach here, which is to equivocate between the parties and discourage voting as futile. The direct targeting of the ballot removal process is also in alignment with relatively recent Russian messaging turns.

Thing is, this is unironically useful. I communicate very, very frequently with folks in at work over text. It's becoming more and more relevant as technology advances, and it's important to get a grasp on how to communicate properly to casual acquaintances vs work colleagues, and the subtleties and nuances between live chat vs e-mail.

What I find ironic about Rall's Trump current Trump cartoons is that I remember Rall stating in one of his columns that there should be a rule that if you have a parent or relative that was elected to a poltical office, you should atomatically be disqualified for running for that postition. I tried to find the column but after reading several of Rall's pieces I had to stop. Admittedly Rall probably meant this to avoid nepotism and was a reaction to the 2000 election and the presidency of George W Bush (which did a number on Rall's brain). But which if more undemocratic; disqualifying someone for instigating a coup after they didn't like the election results, or disqualifying someone because their uncle served in Congress?

The presidency of George W Bush did a number on Ted Rall’s brain, but if you consider the reaction of political cartoonists to the presidency of Obama or the presidency of Trump, I think you would come to the accurate conclusion that Ted Rall was, once again, ahead of the curve.

I tried to find the column but after reading several of Rall's pieces I had to stop. To be fair, I wouldn't be opposed to the idea for the highest offices (Congress/President/Supreme Court). It might help break up the dynastic control of various seats and things. Granted, I don't know that it would make that much of an impact (most of those folks would go on to be members of various groups that control the levers of power anyway), but we have over 300 million folks in the US, so disqualifying a few thousand of the most privileged of them at any given time isn't that big a deal.

Also the Albanese government has put on ice for now any move towards a republic referendum after the failure of the one for the Voice.

Why the gently caress are you even friends? I know this is supposed to be some Calvin and Hobbes imitation but while they fought, it was never like this. It was childish tussling, grabbing, tumbling in big cartoony tangles. Calvin never hit Hobbes in the face with a loving haymaker.

No see the Jewish head of the NGO for multinationals and free market capitalism (which is bad this time, says Branco) is adding the extremist antisemitic nationalism (which is also bad this time, says Branco) and the anti-market Marxism to the globalism in order to forward the anti-business green agenda and force us to eat the bug.

The Islamic Shock posted:Hey does anyone remember what Hitler thought of or did to Marxists, drawing a big ol' blank here Yes, he got them all in a big room together and said "I love you guys, we're basically the same. I want you to help me destroy the Unites States of America because they have freedom and I am an evil foreigner." And then he did an evil laugh and Ronald Reagan burst through the window and said "not on my watch, bucko" and shot all the Marxists and hitler with his M16 and that's how he saved America.
