The system literally cant handle not having a majority. Its paralyzed until someone blinks or 2 years when they all loose. Imagine what a genuine 3rd party would do to this monster if you had more regional factionalism (like east coast, west coast and midlands) or some other three way split. a binary of national level coalitions is the only stable pattern.

It was common legal practice at the time because basically no systems existed to track if people were actually REAL, much less where they were. So if someone was getting sued for enough to bankrupt them 1( they often would end up in debtors jail after to try and shake any hidden money out of them and 2( they had very little to stop them from throwing everything of value in a cart and moving towns to evade justice. About half the constitution is patching problems that other early and ancient democracies had, thus setting up for having thousands of teachable moments to the next wave of democracies.

Main Paineframe posted:Monday is going to be pretty funny. Here's some highlights: Don't forget other winning policies such as no unionizing for our congressional staffers and no nda clauses that let them talk to the ethics committee or office of workplace conditions board. Truly showing they have only the workers best interests at heart and setting a model of benevolent office culture. Some of these things look like they would need real laws or constitutional amendments to actually enforce.

It only takes 6 defections to no to sink the rules. Badd odds of your trying to instantly betray before even floating the dead letter fascist wishlist.
