US Election 2020 - Pt 3

[TheMightyQuinn]

There are 100 seats in the senate, two per state. States get those two seats regardless of their population size which leads to the following problem...

The senate composition is a lot of things but it's certainly not equal or truly democratic.

This is exactly why the US is a Republic, not a Democracy...so as to prevent mob rule.

Trumpets who dont understand simple English and the difference between do and must. No surprise.

Bla bla bla...salty rhetoric...blablabla

Your orange man rendition is amazing.

 

[TheMightyQuinn]

Because Republicans have nominated 21 supreme court justices since 1960, to 11 from Democrats.

And? If the SC is then to be purely based on partisanship, maybe the Dems should do better politically?

Your TDS projection is predictable...

It disproves Chris' narrative.

Please tell me why it's fair that ......................

Loving the salty, crying libs takes this morning.

As a lib, I'd honestly just like to say 'thank you' conservatives.

Thank you for a thirteen seat Supreme Court.

Thank you for a 104 seat Senate.

This could have taken decades, but y'all managed to make it an imperative for Democrats in just four.

No one could have done more for liberalism. No one.

Did you read my post as agreeing with a partisan SC ??

Just saying it's BS is good enough if you have demonstrated a complete lack of understanding about how the US political system functions.

I know exactly how it currently functions, and I have stated that it's unfair, you have zero ability to illustrate why it's fair that 50 million people have the same say in Senate matters as 600 000.

Strange how it's always labelled "mob rule" when their beliefs are in the minority..

It is awfully unfair that China doesn't just control the entire world. They have 2 billion people why should a small country like South Africa with only 50 million people get to do our own thing.

Last I checked those 2 billion people were living in China under a dictatorship. If those 2 billion people moved to SA then yes, they should have a say in what happens within South Africa. Even by your standards this is a silly argument,

In the same way if all the Californians move to Wyoming the can fsckup Wyoming aswell.

Which 50 million people are we talking about in this post now?

First it was California, which has a population of 39 million...

So is it fair that Rhode island has the same say in senate matters as Texas or Florida?

The US is Republic, because true democracy leads to mob rule.

You're "arguing" with your emotions. Go and read up on the US constitution and on the difference between a Democracy and a Republic.

Facts trump emotions...see how relevant that word is?

Apologies, meant 39 million,...

Mob rule like in Switzaerland and in all the other Western democracies that don't have an unrepresentative Senate?
