i particularly enjoy the "Alexander loving Hamilton" bit in there seeing as how he was nothing more than the face on the $10 bill five years ago to 90% of America

is it worse to be forgotten or to be remembered for stupid reasons?

I've been wondering this as well. Who gives their kid a hyphenated first name? I can understand hyphenated last names. They're annoying, but I get the motivation there. First names, though? What the hell, no. That's stupid. Your parents are stupid.

To be fair he was pretty into the EC overturning bad votes.

quote:

All these advantages will happily combine in the plan devised by the convention; which is, that the people of each State shall choose a number of persons as electors, equal to the number of senators and representatives of such State in the national government, who shall assemble within the State, and vote for some fit person as President. Their votes, thus given, are to be transmitted to the seat of the national government, and the person who may happen to have a majority of the whole number of votes will be the President. But as a majority of the votes might not always happen to centre in one man, and as it might be unsafe to permit less than a majority to be conclusive, it is provided that, in such a contingency, the House of Representatives shall select out of the candidates who shall have the five highest number of votes, the man who in their opinion may be best qualified for the office.

The process of election affords a moral certainty, that the office of President will never fall to the lot of any man who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications. Talents for low intrigue, and the little arts of popularity, may alone suffice to elevate a man to the first honors in a single State; but it will require other talents, and a different kind of merit, to establish him in the esteem and confidence of the whole Union, or of so considerable a portion of it as would be necessary to make him a successful candidate for the distinguished office of President of the United States. It will not be too strong to say, that there will be a constant probability of seeing the station filled by characters pre-eminent for ability and virtue. And this will be thought no inconsiderable recommendation of the Constitution, by those who are able to estimate the share which the executive in every government must necessarily have in its good or ill administration. Though we cannot acquiesce in the political heresy of the poet who says: "For forms of government let fools contest That which is best administered is best,'' yet we may safely pronounce, that the true test of a good government is its aptitude and tendency to produce a good administration.

But, uh, that was pretty much in the context of 'if somehow we literally don't have a majority and we kinda can't have some sort of civil war brewing over a contested election' and 'if we just somehow straight up elect a British loyalist who runs on a platform of 'whew that revolution was a mistake right? Let's go back!' He was super into the idea of democracy being pure enough to somehow endow even a shithead with ~presidential qualities~ and all.

Honestly I like Alexander Hamilton a lot as far as founding fathers go, but the idea he wouldn't 100% be one of those dudes on the news smugly lecturing protestors about how we must respect ~the democratic process~ and the really important part is maintaining the sanctity of our election process and poo poo is nuts.

I honestly don't mind people exploiting stupid do-nothing "solidarity" poo poo like this. It's like an 1850s California shopkeeper with a good supply of shovels and pickaxes.

Also this thread has re-affirmed my belief that having a Twitter account is not only unnecessary but actively detrimental. It's only worthwhile to hear from Shaq or Hideo Kojima.

Hmmm. My understanding of American politics has been shattered by Donald Trump being elected president. Should I study history to try and figure out how we got to this point, or maybe talk to Trump supporters?

Nope. Hufflepuff Slytherin Voldemort.

I never understood the "LOOTING IS GOOD" poo poo. I can understand riot being pressure valve breaks and it being better to gently caress over people property then beat them to death in the "greater good" sense. but looting is loving lovely.



I honestly hate this art style. its basically people trying to copy the Stephen universe style but failing hard as gently caress at it. it reminds me of the tumblr artist with who made crying eyes look like melting eggs.

I agree? Which is probably why he and every other federalist viewed the ability of the EC to override popular vote as a big red button 'in case of emergency' type thing rather than 'aw this guy is gonna suck, redo'. My last bit was more about the general tone of the people who act like anyone saying 'I'm mad about this election' should just shush because the act of democracy is some sacred thing that must be honored to the extent of never complaining about it. I don't think I ever said we need to abolish democracy, just kinda agreeing that the people using Hamilton as some escape is kinda funny.

democracy is sacred, but not everything democracy does is inherently good because of that. The whole point of a democracy is people have the right to say 'this is loving poo poo, gently caress that guy' while fully respecting 'yea that guy's gonna be president though'. That was all I was going for, I'm pretty fuckin far from some anarchist who's saying we need to burn down the core concept of our political system . The only reason I used that quote in the first place is Hamilton constantly spoke like the basic act of being elected as a statesman was something transformative due to the inherent goodness of the concept.
