FlamingLiberal posted:Ok and I get that, but now he's refusing to say if a nominee will get a floor vote for the next president. Pre poll has 56% of the people think the Senate needs to at least consider the nominee, while 38% disagree. But while independents side with democrats 56-37, 66% of republicans say the nominee should not be considered This isn't about the country, this is about their base

I don't think it's ever been used in this sort of context, but we've never had this level of intransigence either. Do it, Obama. Force them to expose their naked obstructionism and hypocrisy on respect of the Constitution.

Radbot posted:I think anyone that points to a YouTube video of a few dozen students at one college one time as evidence of, well, anything, is a loving moron. quote:Around 5:45 p.m., as attendees began to leave the conference, students outside chanted the phrase “Genocide is not a joke” and held up written signs of the same words. Taking Howard’s reminder into account, protesters formed a clear path through which attendants could leave. A large group of students eventually gathered outside of the building on High Street. According to Buckley fellows present during the conference, several attendees were spat on as they left. One Buckley fellow said he was spat on and called a racist. Another, who is a minority himself, said he has been labeled a “traitor” by several fellow minority students. Both asked to remain anonymous because they were afraid of attracting backlash. Or this? quote:Protesters at Dartmouth University disrupted students studying in the library, reportedly directing profanity towards white students and physically pushing others.

Replace "since the moment the 'scandal' broke" with "since Bill Clinton ran for governor of Arkansas because she wouldn't take his last name" and you're good to go. There is literally nothing different, and there never will be.

These hypothetical Black Panthers wouldn't even make it through their first chant before the police mowed them down in a drive by shooting. It's kind of lovely to volunteer others to die for your cause while you post on a comedy forum.

An advanced algorithm then matches them to the precise candidates, issues and proposals that appeals to them. No arguing, no depending on outside media for your information. Managed democracy!

A lot of(most?) of the countries that formed democracies/republics post US Revolution used the US constitution as a base, but fixed a lot of the more stupid things in it. Lets be honest though, a political party being a bunch of children isn't exactly a new thing in this country. Hell, in order to even get the constitution ratified one of the states had to send out people to find all the anti-federalists and literally drag them to the building where the vote was being held, because the anti-federalists knew that the federalists could not reach a quorum without the anti-federalists there, and so couldn't vote on the ratification.

This doesn't work against the idea that there are downsides to democracy, merely that many of our attempts to manage those downsides of democracy within our hybrid system sometimes lets things that shouldn't be based on democracy be decided by it (elected judges, gay marriage referendums) and acts in very undemocractic ways in others (electoral college, the senate, the idea of states' rights in general). It's mostly the latter, and I definitely feel that it should probably be more democratic, but there are downsides to complete and utter democracy, and hence you get liberal democracy where minority rights are protected. Now which minority rights should be protected is a question too, and we err on the side of the rich as a minority rather than say, black people as a minority.
