Democracy's fatal flaw.

You partisan fucks are killing us.

Helloooooo, McFly.

I lost ya.

OK, go play now.

Alternatively you can smarten up.

Clearly not.

 

[BackAgain]

Clearly not.

It would be monumental. What a first step!

Politicians have two choices,

Tell you lies and retain your vote.
Tell you the truth and lose your vote.

Guess which one they choose.

The fatal flaw with democracy is eventually a majority of voters will vote only for what their country can do for them and are not interested in what they can do for their country.

Once that tipping point is reached...the jig is up.

The OTHER fatal flaw specific to OUR form of Democracy is the long range planning is marked in years...not decades or quarter centuries. Everything is short term.

Which is why good ole' Ben Franklin said we were a Republic - while admitting we may not be able to maintain said status.

A rose by another name, does it not smell as sweet?

Whatever you call it doesn't change it's flaws in operation.

I wouldn't call what we have now a "Republic".

Not by a country mile.

Thanks Dems!

How about option 3: Just don't be self-serving, corrupt, criminal, treasonous, Constitution/Law-violating, tax dollar-stealing douche bags.

Yeah, I know - that's the least preferred option to politicians, especially to Democrats

You sound like a fascist. People aren't voting the way you want them to vote - so you throw a tantrum?

We thrash back between horseshit leftist social engineering, and bone-dead, stupid Trumpster populism.

Right? I mean, record-low unemployment, low taxes, nearly $1 trillion in offshore tax-shelters repatriated into the United States, secured borders, and more was sooooo "bone-dead stupid"

Seriously. Biden and Trump are the best we can do!?!?!? Jesus fuck, let's just throw in the towel already.

Literally people like you are the problem. You actually believe one man can solve your problems and the problems of the nation.

You claim to be "libertarian" but never actually read the US Constitution. If people like you were promoting constitutional government, it wouldn't matter who sat in the White House. Under actual constitutional government, the President of the United States is an impotent position - wielding authority over the Executive Branch only. So unless you're an employee of the federal government, who sat in the White House would have 0 affect on you.


Sadly, you're not "libertarian" in the least. Like all on the left, you believe in - and desire - one authoritarian dictator with power over all. And you laughably believe that person will be a benevolent, omnipotent, "savior"

Bwahaha!! Is there anyone more "partisan" than a self-proclaimed "libertarian"? All of them proudly declare how they cut off their nose to spite their own face by casting votes for people who couldn't possibly win an election

Damn that sentence is freaking hilarious.
