LOL!! Dumb? Here is a look at a democrat congressman, the best and brightest the democrats have:
- DC statehood: At least a plurality of Americans support statehood: Harris, DataForProgress
- abolish the Electoral College: Little time will be spent on this. Though most Americans don't like it. Gallup
- Paris Climate Change Treaty (costing the US $trillions): Most Americans are for. ABC News Poll
- Iran Nuke Scam (watch how fast Iran gets a nuke now): Most Americans were against leaving: Reuters/Ipsos
- Budget Busting programs, the Debt soars, and the dollar crashes: Trump raised the deficit in good economic times, the GOP has lost this argument forever.
- Medicare and Social Security go bankrupt: Trump's plan for payroll tax holidays would do just that.
- Gun Grabbing begins: Just like under Obama, amiright?
- Voters age drops to 16: Cool, let's do it. You going to revolt over this, idiot?
Dumb motherfuckers is all that's left of the right now.
Explaining how the island of Guam will capsize...<g> We'll match IQs with any democrats.
Wow, you took the loss like a champ.
Take your meds and STFU.
Why don't you respond to all the points I made about your post? I've bolded them for you and well hell, I'll even present them below:
- As soon as the democrats start pushing their agenda:
- DC statehood: At least a plurality of Americans support statehood: Harris, DataForProgress
- abolish the Electoral College: Little time will be spent on this. Though most Americans don't like it. Gallup
- Paris Climate Change Treaty (costing the US $trillions): Most Americans are for. ABC News Poll
- Iran Nuke Scam (watch how fast Iran gets a nuke now): Most Americans were against leaving: Reuters/Ipsos
- Budget Busting programs, the Debt soars, and the dollar crashes: Trump raised the deficit in good economic times, the GOP has lost this argument forever.
- Medicare and Social Security go bankrupt: Trump's plan for payroll tax holidays would do just that.
- Gun Grabbing begins: Just like under Obama, amiright?
- Voters age drops to 16: Cool, let's do it. You going to revolt over this, idiot?
Much better post, thanks. I wasn't sure those were your responses.
- DC statehood: At least a plurality of Americans support statehood. That would take an amendment with ratification by 75% of states. Never happen.
- abolish the Electoral College: Little time will be spent on this. Though most Americans don't like it. The EC protects the small states from the big ones, aka "the great compromise". Agree its staying.
- Paris Climate Change Treaty (costing the US $trillions): Most Americans are for. IMHO most Americans don't understand what it really means, the US makes 15% of the pollution, yet we would pay China and India $trillions for their pollution. Its a stupid deal, but is sold as "saving the planet", bullshit.
- Iran Nuke Scam (watch how fast Iran gets a nuke now): Most Americans were against leaving.We all know how polls work, you pay pollsters for the result you want. We pay $billions for a 10-year delay?! WTF?
Obama should apologize for shameful cash payment to Iran
Any honest assessment would conclude that Iran used at least part of America’s massive payment to finance terrorist attacks.thehill.com
- Budget Busting programs, the Debt soars, and the dollar crashes: Trump raised the deficit in good economic times, the GOP has lost this argument forever. I don't know, forever is a long time, but Democrats spend just as much if not more, Republicans cut taxes to grow the economy. What argument has the GOP lost??
- Medicare and Social Security go bankrupt: Trump's plan for payroll tax holidays would do just that. Agreed, that was a dumb idea.
- Gun Grabbing begins: Just like under Obama, amiright? We'll see
- Voters age drops to 16: Cool, let's do it. You going to revolt over this, idiot? Dumb idea, 16-year olds don't work or pay taxes.
DC Statehood: Statehood does not require an amendment to the Constitution just a simple vote and the only hurdle is the senate's filibuster.
Electoral College: It's outdate and meant to preserve the power of slave states. That being said the point of your post is that the Democrats would be unpopular for attempting to change this. For one, the EC is not popular and secondly the Democrats realize the hurdles involved in repealing the EC so nobody is going to spend time on this to any real degree in Congress.
Paris Agreement: Regardless of what the GOP doesn't understand what an international agreement is, it's popular in the United States.
Iran Nuke Deal: I reject your argument about "we all know how polls work". Most Americans did not want to leave the deal and now Iran is free to do what it pleases without any oversight at all.
Budget Busting Programs: As I previously said, the party who allegedly safeguarded the deficit and debt have never done so.
Medicare and Social Security: If you agree Trump was wrong then why are you blaming Democrats?
Gun Grabbing: We'll see? You guys have been whining that your rights are under assault while gun makers have been making bank on your paranoia.
Voters Age Drop to 16: I can't think of a better way to get younger people to be more civically minded and take accountability than allowing them to vote. After all they are ultimately going to have to pay for our fuck ups. That being said, this isn't not a serious thing being debated and by few in power to do anything about it.
1. Agreed the senate filibuster is the biggest hurdle to add a state.
2. Look at what it would take to replace the EC with the popular vote. Not happening.
Article II, section 1 of the Constitution establishes the Electoral College. It is extremely difficult to amend the Constitution. Article V sets up the manner by which an amendment is passed. While there are two different means to amend the founding document, this country has always used the same route: a 2/3rds vote in both houses of Congress, followed by the ratification of 3/4ths of the states. A plan to scrap the Electoral College via constitutional amendment would not pass in the current environment.
3. We'll see how popular Paris is when it starts to bite consumers. Like the price of gas, cars, electricity, etc.
4. The Iran deal was a 10 year deal. Makes no sense, and costs $billions. Trump said no Iran nukes, period.
5. Which party cuts spending and raises revenue? (hint: neither)
6. Neither party has tried to fix SS or Medicare, both are at fault. We'll see where Biden and the dems land, stay tuned.
7. Very true, gun sales are off the charts.
