US Midterm Elections Megathread III: Hitting The Wall

[Major-Tom]

Democracy is flawed because your views are odious and unpopular?

No, Democracy is flawed because of people like you.

In other words, democracy is flawed because people who I disagree with have a say.

[Telconi]

Black people's desire for freedom is the problem, not the institution of slavery!

This might be the single falsest equivalence I've ever seen on this site, and that's saying something.

I'm sure you have a reasoning for his, other than "but nuh uh!"

[Telconi]

No, Democracy is flawed because of people like you.

I would say that this particular democracy is flawed because people I disagree with have an oppressive say.

Alright.
We have two scenarios:
Scenario one: You can't allow the minority to trample the majority's rights because they don't like the majority's views/the majority has its views implemented.

Scenario two: The Slavers can and do trample over the slaves (being the majority in a slave society) because the slaves have no rights.

Therefore Slavery == democracy.

And yes. I did simplify your """""""""""argument""""""""""" on purpose so even you can get how fucking stupid it is.

Yeah how dare people have the audacity to disagree with you

Oh the irony.

[San Lumen]

Oh the irony.

I ask again was the governor election in your state unfair because your candidate lost even though they won more land area?

How do you reach that conclusion? The Republicans hold the Senate, Presidency, and arguably the Supreme Court is as conservative as it has been in decades.

I find it strange to have a notion that the minority party in this country is able to have an oppressive say when they're not really in control. Add on the fact that the people I know you agree with actually have a strong propensity to unfair voter laws (see Georgia), where they actually lean towards the idea of suppression, I just don't know how you could say those you disagree with have an oppressive say.

It's quite the logical leap.

[Telconi]

I have no problem with people who disagree with me, I have a problem when they enforce their disagreeing views on me.

Only if you operate from the flawed assumption that I agree with your alleged majority.

[Kowani]

Yeah how dare people have the audacity to disagree with you

I have no problem with people who disagree with me, I have a problem when they enforce their disagreeing views on me.

How dare everyone else vote.

My presumption was that you vaguely aligned with the GOP and prefer them to the Democrats/Liberals, who I presumed you think have an oppressive say. If I'm wrong, then I apologize.

[Valrifell]

I have no problem with people who disagree with me, I have a problem when they enforce their disagreeing views on me.

How dare everyone else vote.

Democracy would be perfect if I were the only one voting.

[Telconi]

I have no problem with people who disagree with me, I have a problem when they enforce their disagreeing views on me.

How dare everyone else vote.

I doubt un-inhibited majority rule is something you truly want.

[The South Falls]

Yeah how dare people have the audacity to disagree with you

I have no problem with people who disagree with me, I have a problem when they enforce their disagreeing views on me.

I mean, if they make laws you don't like, protest them. Run yourself. Saying that they shouldn't be allowed to exist because of it doesn't make sense.

[Freezic Vast]

Oh the irony.

I ask again was the governor election in your state unfair because your candidate lost even though they won more land area?

And I answered your question month ago, I'm not gonna repeat myself for you because you have memory loss apparently. I ask what is so great about this map of California?

[San Lumen]

So therefore your vote ought to count more for statewide office because you have less population

I 'vaguely align' with a lot of folks, that's so vague as to be a worthless metric.

You act as if democratic gerrymandering is the only sort of gerrymandering in our Congress.

It makes perfect sense, and it's done literally all the time.

Do you not understand what I am saying, I answered it before, I'm not answering it again, your question is irrelevant and you have failed to answer my question.

[Major-Tom]

I 'vaguely align' with a lot of folks, that's so vague as to be a worthless metric.

In that case, who are those who you would say have an oppressive say, if anyone?

[San Lumen]

So therefore your vote ought to count more for statewide office because you have less population

Do you not understand what I am saying, I answered it before, I'm not answering it again, your question is irrelevant and you have failed to answer my question.

No it’s not irrelevant. You simply don’t like you have less population and think the system ought to be rigged in your favor. It fairly represents the people that map

[Telconi]

I 'vaguely align' with a lot of folks, that's so vague as to be a worthless metric.

In that case, who are those who you would say have an oppressive say, if anyone?

Our governmen..

[San Lumen]

Yeah how dare anyone vote who disagrees with you
