NH LP needs to be kicked out, their just a bunch of alt right idiots posing as libertarians. It's really fucked up.

Ian should be happy! When he gets out in 2032, she will be 24, and he won't be breaking the law!

The bears won.

They’re too afraid of the label. So they hide behind a less offensive one. It’s like how a lot of racists like to be called “rednecks” instead.

Yes but what if the people choose a terrible representative. We need a system that limits their options to people we choose. Ideally they only get two options we vetted.

But I'm afraid that won't even be enough, we should come up with a system where the people aren't directly voting on those representatives but other people will then go and vote on behalf of the people. That way we can divide things so even if the people vote with a majority we can still claim they didn't get enough electoral votes to win. Since these are next level voters we can call them something like a college of electors. We should also make sure these electors are not distributed equally among the population.

I'm afraid that still wouldn't be enough for the ruling class to maintain power. Maybe we should also divide their votes into arbitrary lines. We can call them districts. They won't correspond to any other districts and we can arbitrarily change districts when it's in our favor.

Even with all that I think we will have to occasionally come up with more measures. Maybe we can jail people for minor crimes more than every other nation in the world and take away their voting rights after they've been jailed. We can target specific groups and make new laws that allow us to remove from the system those whose votes would be unfavorable.

Perhaps then and only then will we be a beacon of freedom and hope to all those who wish to be a nation ruled by the people.

Democracy isn't only elections. It's organizing. It's hard work. It's punching nazis in the face. It's standing up for marginalized people and groups.

But our system is set up to make that process difficult or impossible. It is set up to make us vote and then forget it for four years, until we can vote for another turd sandwich or giant douche from the same two parties that caused our problems in the first place.

If people show up in large numbers, shit gets done. If they threaten to harm government officials or destroy the tools of capital, shit gets done. Why do you think the CPC immediately prevents any spontaneous public gatherings and limits wechat groups to 500 people? Why do you think Korea could unseat a president?
