I mean if you think controlling women's bodies is fascism and you voted for somebody who is anti-choice doesn't that kind of make you a fascist?

Do you acknowledge that it was undemocratic and just don't care?

I think the person who gets the most votes should win, not the person who gets the second highest number of votes. That would be more democratic.bittersalt123 wrote:You think the electoral college is undemocratic?fightinfrenchman wrote:How does that image mean it was democratic?

Re: Ridiculous political ads
It wouldn't represent the country as a whole if we did it like that. Big cities would decide it and the democrats would just always win cuz they like giving out government benefits to people more.fightinfrenchman wrote:I think the person who gets the most votes should win, not the person who gets the second highest number of votes.

What do you think it means to be democratic?

Re: Ridiculous political ads
Shouldn't they be trying to appeal the broadest number of people possible? If you can't win a popular vote, maybe there is something wrong with your platform. Republicans have won the popular vote before, why are they scared of it now?bittersalt123 wrote:It wouldn't represent the country as a whole if we did it like that.

If your stance is 1 person doesn't equal 1 vote, then why have a democracy at all? Was it democratic when black people only counted as 1/5th of a person on the census? Would it be fair if every Asian vote was worth 2 votes? Should you get an extra .3 of a vote because you live in the suburbs? Your answer to all of these is of course, NO, that's ridiculous. Because we don't assign votes based on race, ethnicity, wealth, so we certainly shouldn't do it because of where you live.

@bittersalt123 I can't put my finger on it, but for some reason I think you're full of shit when you say your 2016 vote was a "protest vote". If you're not a Trump supporter you're doing a piss poor job showing it tbh

Re: Ridiculous political ads
"Bunch of idiots" is key to your argument because usually the votes of individuals beats land mass. Let's just say that best practise is to have one person one vote. The US already has elements of regional representation (like the Congress or the Senate). The president could just be voted for directly. Would be betterbittersalt123 wrote:You think the electoral college is undemocratic?fightinfrenchman wrote:How does that image mean it was democratic?

It's a common myth in the USA which lots of ordinary people believe that "Americuh is not a democracy, it's a republic" as if that makes them super-special and unique in the world.
Obviously there's no such thing as a form of government called republic that isn't a democracy too, with the exception of old historical republics in which citizens were only a certain category of people (men of fighting age) or fake democracies like North Korea which also call themselves republics. And yeah, the reverse is not true, there are also lots of democracies that aren't also republics (constitutional monarchies). Basically modern republics are all democracies, but not all modern democracies are republics.

btw I have never heard of that myth.

Just search "america is a republic not a democracy" and see what you get.
It's an opinion that is very popular among right-wingers in the USA.
