The Eternal Puts The Lotion On Its Skin

[Nude East Ireland]

I'd prefer elections every two years, not every six weeks or whenever some group of MPs switch sides on some policy and bring the government down. Seriously...

Lanos, I think your gov't is stable enough that an MP switching sides on some policy wouldn't bring it down.

"Mr. President, how do you feel about the tampon issue?"

"Well, I mean, they are only trying to help people. So I guess you could say I've changed my mind on that issue."

"OHMYGODHOLYSHIT THE NATION IS GOING BROKE! NUCLEAR WAR IS COMING! ALL HAIL SATAN!"

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Well, don't you think you need more alternatives than just democrats or republicans?

Not necessarily. The Dem tent is pretty big, and while there was a recent attempt to make a more uniform Republican party, theres certainly a variety of opinions therein.

Yeah, but there are dissenting opinions even in those parties. Why would you, if you're the president (in case you have one, and I don't know enough about the US's political party structure), want to include a dem (for example) who would like a small gov't (which, I think, is a rep idea)?

Besides, does everyone in the US think along the lines of Rep or Dem? I'm sure there are some people that lean towards Socialism and even Communism (of course, in lesser quantities). Are there parties for these people?

The third party the Libertarians only get 1% of the vote. To be honest Obama seems more honest than Romney if I had to choose. But as I am only a visa holding resident luckily I can't vote.

He's a puppet.

I'd like to pose the question: Why do we even have president's? What is this, feudal Europe?

I'm in America. :/

The Presidents aren't the entirety of the Executive Branch, and you're fucking kidding me Jesus fucking Christ.

In a sense, no, seeing how they don't get representation,
So, technically, we shouldn't tax them, seeing how "No taxation without representation"

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Nope.

That is not in a single fucking U.S. document fucking anywhere.

Just some bullshit propaganda used to justify an inevitable revolution.

Theer are parties for those people, and fascists and neo-nazis too. They just all have very little support.

Oh, ok. So these parties do exists, it's just that the support is marginal.

I was curious, because it always seems like the US has only 2 parties (Dem and Rep).

No, but this whole idea of representation is.
No one can represent you. They are not you, they don't hold your beliefs, your value system,your memories.
Only you can represent you. Why do we have leaders? They aren't the true leaders to begin with! They are the speakers, and the speaker is not the leader. You can make him into one, but that would be an utter folly. Here's a Jiddu Krishnamutri quote:

"You know we're always want to be led, but what about basically nature? We all want to be told what to do. Marx tells you what to do, Christ tells you what to do, the politicians tell you what to do. We're always looking for leaders - better political leader than the present one. And the better political leader is always not good enough but next one will be better. And so we keep this idea. Please let's be clear on this point. There is no leader as far as I am concerned. You can create the speaker into a leader, which will be an utter folly, but the speaker is not a leader. We are together co-operating to discover the cause of all this misery of man. You have had thousand leaders. They've all failed."
