Trump Timeline ... Trumpocalypse

What happens if you don’t vote?

There are several possible answers to this question.

I think that the most obvious answer is that if you don’t vote, you cannot have any positive influence over the election. The only influence you can possibly have is passive in nature. You have decided by not voting, that whatever those who do vote decide, will be suitable to you.

Here is where it gets complicated

In the US, just about every major election is decided by a minority. That isn’t what a democracy is supposed to be. But when you consider that something on the order of 40% of our eligible voters don’t bother to fill out a ballot, that leaves it up to the other 60% to decide the outcome of the election. If as is usually the case, the vote is fairly evenly split along party lines, that means that about 30% of the voters are actually deciding the outcome of an election that affects 100% of our citizens.

And ironically, the least popular side in an election is the one that will benefit from low voter turnout. So it can be said that if you don’t vote at all, you are helping to elect the politician who is least popular, which is just the opposite of what a democracy is supposed to be.

That’s exactly right. that’s not what a democracy supposed to be. that’s because we have a republic not a democracy.
i’m amazed by how many people have no clue they’re living in a republic and not a democracy. that’s the phony kind of education you get for attending government run public schools. the government can’t do anything right why would you trust them for your education...

After the way libtards have acted I certainly hope voters turn out. Remember the party that has the presidency (that would be us Trump winners by the way) usually lose the midterms. It will be interesting to see. Perhaps Meso prognosticator senorman would give us his insight. He's 0-1 so far. Lol

Shout out today to the 100 million people who didn’t vote in 2016. Hope the hour you saved that day in November was worth it.

And if it wasn’t, there’s another hour coming up next month, and we could really use your presence.

Democracy vs Republic - Difference and Comparison | Diffen

Most modern nations—including the United States—are democratic republics with a constitution, which can be amended by a popularly elected government. This comparison therefore contrasts the form of government in most countries today with a theoretical construct of a "pure democracy", mainly to highlight the features of a republic.

[Thread] There will be renewed calls for civility. Ignore them. They ask for civility as a way for you to grant them complicity in what they do.

Civility is for normalcy. When things are normal and working as intended, civility is part of maintaining balance. But when that balance is gone, civility does not help return it but rather, destabilize it further. Because your civility gives them cover for evil.

Note: this isn’t the same as calling for violence. But it is suggesting that you should not be shamed for using vigorous, vulgar language. Or for standing up in disobedience. Or for demanding acknowledgement and action in whatever way you must.

Fuck Trump. But he’s just the ugly fake-gold mask they’ve put on this thing. Fuck all the GOP, fuck that blubbering, bristling frat boy judge, fuck McConnell, Ryan, Grassley, Collins, every last one of them. Fuck them for how they’ve shamed victims and helped dismantle democracy.

Yes! senorman gives us another prediction. Just to remind everyone how accurate he is, I'll just leave this one here LMAO

It’s obvious that Kavanaugh will not be confirmed to the Supreme Court. The republican leadership is too fucking stupid to just cut this asshole loose and get a different asshole confirmed. As long as they support Kavanaugh, the self-inflicted political harm will continue.
