Why The Resistance Is The Best Thing That’s Happened To Donald Trump

[Sun Devil 92]

Not all change is for the better.

What say you carve up Cali into ten states.

That way their votes for senators would be closer to your desires.

Not all change is for the better, however one person, one vote IS a change for the better.

Prove it.

Fine. Although this is about what is "better" which is highly subjective.

However we know that when people have one person one vote they vote differently. In Germany 10% of the people will vote for the main two parties in FPTP and then will switch their vote to smaller parties when it comes to proportional representation.

There's a difference, FPTP is negative voting where people will vote for someone in order to stop someone else getting into power. PR is positive voting where people vote for the party they want to represent them.

In the US people ended up voting for two joke candidates and ended up with one of them. In other countries this won't happen because people actually have more choice, which means parties are less likely to go with the joke candidate because they know they can be decimated at the polls.

If I live in a country, I want to have equal say with everyone else. Why? Because then politicians will end up seeing things in an equal way. In a country where there's an imbalance, then those who have less of a say will have less of the benefits of the politicians.

That is why that have states.

Pure and simple.

So pure and simple you can only write 9 words.

And how many words does it take to tell me differently.

Well, it would help to explain yourself, to back up your claim, to communicate, rather than to just act like you don't care. If you don't care, then why are you on here?

Sure, it matters that Donald Trump owns a historically low favorability rating. Then again, disliking the president isn’t exactly a courageous act. Plenty of Americans — many of whom supported the president during the general election — don’t like Donald Trump. They do realize that politics is a tradeoff. A more revealing question pollsters might ask people is: But do you “like” any better Chuck Schumer or Elizabeth Warren, pussy-hatted marchers griping about the patriarchy, or the totalitarians blocking Education Secretary Betsy Devos from walking into a public school?

That’s the choice #TheResistance — whose mantra, let’s face it, has synched with the national Democratic Party — has created for many moderate Republicans, right-leaning independents, and movement conservatives concerned about Trump. Which is to say, they offer no choice whatsoever. They offer plenty of hysteria, hypocrisy, and conflating of conservatism with Trumpism for political gain.

***********************************

Last week, when the president tactlessly attacked the Ninth Circuit Court on Twitter, the mantra was “Trump doesn’t respect the law!” — even though Democrats had spent eight years attacking the Supreme Court over Citizens United. By Monday, when we learned that there was a deportation uptick (there probably wasn’t) of illegal immigrants, the mantra had changed to “Trump is upholding the law!” (Do Democrats believe enforcing the law horrifies most voters? Do they really believe a temporary ban on refugees from Muslim-majority countries that are terror-producing nations is as cut and dry an issue as it looks on their Twitter feeds?) These days, “the law” means “policy positions liberals like.”

Heat can burn. The heat hasn't started. This is the prequel. Those on the left that want to murder people will win. Temporary.

Or maybe it will make people wake up to the fact that two choices isn't much of a choice. "Oh, hey, have dinner, you can choose from moldy fruit or putrid beef, which would you like sir?"

Time for REAL CHANGE, time for Proportional Representation. One person, one vote. Not one person in Wyoming, three votes.

Or you can just re-establish federalism, get what you want done at the State level, and reduce the federal government back to it's original intent.

Also, good luck amending the constitution to get true national voting.

Oh, it's almost impossible to get PR, why? Because the right know the current system benefits them too much.

Actually its more rural/smaller states that knows the system benefits them, or at least protects them a bit, and that is the system they signed up for.

PR might be OK for the House, on a State by State basis mind you, but the presidency was never about direct election.
