Oregon Republicans facing arrest

[San Lumen]

moderate republicans

Are you ever going to answer my question?!

It’s a absurd hypothetical that even if it was possible would crash the state economy

[Scomagia]

Outcome of what election? What the fuck are you even talking about? God, try making sense.

The elections in my state.

The walkout in Oregon has nothing to do with elections, though. Why do you keep spouting drivel about "not respecting elections"?

It's actually exceptionally easy to figure out who's a farmer. Farmers self report being farmers to several federal agencies, and report certain things to them.

But sorting out hobby farms is quite a bit more difficult.

Actually, no, that's quite easy too. Hobby farms are reported differently to the IRS than regular farms, and typically have less (or no) interaction with many of the relevant agencies that deal with agriculture.

Granted, there's a few people that stray into the gray between hobby and professional, and that might be hard to figure out.

But is this rural or urban?



What about this?

So, that's a no.

[San Lumen]

Be specific as to how they would be counted more

Votes from a rural zip code/county/whatever subdivision you want to employ should count for a percentage above those cast in the city.

That’s a violation of one man one vote and would probably be struck down in court

[Northern Davincia]

I'd like mine answered too.

We would probably have a better chance at making the Death Star a reality

Don't tempt me.

The elections in my state.

Stunts like this are necessary from time to time, much like filibusters. It's more important to defeat bad bills than to pass good ones.

Nevermind that. How would you feel if it ever happened?

Answer the question and stop dodging it. Otherwise I’m going to assume you’d be pissed and you don’t want to answer the hypothetical because you realize that it would destroy your current position

My relatives think stunts like this are stupid and petty and their state legislators in Albany are Republicans

[Galloism]

We do an amazing thing in Albany. Both sides work together to get things done for the most part even on things like agriculture

San Lumen please consider the following: If the rural communities had the power to do whatever they want at the expense of those in the cities how would you feel?

Answer the fucking question and stop dodging it

I mean, isn't that basically the state of our current electoral college system?

Don't you know? It's only acceptable for minorities to cast meaningless votes against overwhelming majorities and let their constituents get reamed. Anything else is "not respecting elections", even if its legal. Bow before the majority!

I respect the outcome of elections

There's a good argument here for a proportionally based system.

Or they could work together like we do in Albany

Okay?

Work together for the rural folks to get raped by the interests of Salem and Portland, you mean.

I second this.

[San Lumen]

Okay?

They are in a rural county. Your clearly missed the point of my post entirely

Yes, or at least for the preservation of tactics like walkouts.

Yeah how dare those people be allowed to vote or have representation relative to their population

[Telconi]

What your relatives think isn't a point.

When our livelihoods are at stake, you should expect resistance.

Totally a credible threat and not scaremongering in the least, that.

Yes, "politicians who have done a thing are likely to continue doing the thing unless stopped" seems pretty credible and realistic to most people.

And? Why do I give a shit what your alleged relatives have to say about politics in...wherever the fuck you're from? Your anecdote does nadda to convince me that rural interests there are being represented.
