glowing-fish posted:Ten years ago, five nations, and several US States, recognized same gender marriage, but it was still impossible in most of the world, and it still wasn't a "mainstream" political position in the United States. I always find it hilarious that people hold up gay marriage as a "will of the people" argument, when the decision stands as a scathing indictment of democracy: it was enacted by supreme fiat, over the objections of the then majority of the US population. It became only "majority accepted" as people learned to live with the new reality forcibly imposed on them, not the other way around. The gay marriage decision is the best positive argument in recent history in favor of benevolent dictatorship over representative democracy.

You’re completely wrong. 2015 polls had ~60% national support for SSM.

The EU isn’t giving another extension without some guarantee of a second referendum or a new election.

Groovelord Neato posted:nice antisemitism. You could argue that more people voted against Bibi than voted for him but because of the way the government is formed with coalitions and splinter parties it muddies the waters. The sad fact is that Israel no longer has a strong left leaning party like they did in the past so it is all varying degrees of right wing arsholes working together.

It’s wild because it ends up putting centrist Dems in the box of defending the memory of a craven warmongering aristocrat. I mean, aside from all the other craven warmongering aristocrats they run for President.
