Broken Democracy: Republicans Poised to Take Senate Even as Americans Reject Their Platform


Yesterday the monkiez were trying to explain economics. Today they try to explain elections.

Triana, can you explain how the Republicans are going to take the Senate even though the 'Majority' of Americans reject their platform? (it's not her words, of course.... just a cut and paste job)

What is odd, and damning of the current American political system, is that the Republican Party’s major platform positions are roundly rejected by the American people. That is, they are ideologically a minority party. And yet they manage to win elections.

How does this happen?

If the US were ruled by referendum, it would have Democratic Party policies. That so many US policies are set by Republicans, and by the most conservative Republicans in the party, is a betrayal of the general will of the American people, who want an entirely different set of policies.

The leftists really really want a dictatorship.

1. If we had "Vote By Mail" throughout the country this wouldn't happen

It is an extremely easy fix, yet Democrats are so stupid they continue to fight it. Even with all the evidence out there to show that turnout goes up dramatically, Democrats still fight it..


This would allow an even bigger chance for fraud or course, which is why the leftists want it to happen.

New topic. It should get interesting.

Thankfully the Founders were wise enough to set us up as a representative republic.

Way to refute the charge that democrats are too lazy to take care of themselves, ass-bandit.
According to the Bible, "know" means "yes."

How about we just switch to voting by on-line petitions.  :-)

The DUmpmonkeys are going to be sling huge amounts of their own poo as the leftist policies get proven wrong by reality. The cognitive dissidence of a leftist's mind is powerful thing.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

I can't decide if the DUmmies' cognitive dissonance is a symptom or one of the causes of their mental illness.

That's like asking does leftism cause mental illness or does mental illness make one a leftist. Chicken, egg kind of thing. Personally I think that the mental illness must be present first for a fertile ground for leftist ideas.

They would demand a postage paid envelope, that's for sure. :fuelfire:
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

Well, DUH!

You didn't expect a DUmmie to spring for a stamp,  did you?  That's 49 cents towards a bag of Cheetos.

Liberals are like Slinkys.  Basically useless, but they do bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs...

Then there is the fact that the evil USPS is always raising the price of stamps.
