if you want proof that a president has power look at how much bush has fucked up in his time. nothing funny about him asking the cia to look for a link between 9-11 and iraq. nothing funny about him vetoing health insurance for children. there are real consequences in terms of lives & deaths. if you think that a butterfly's wings in one part of the world can cause a tornado in another, then imagine what a bozo in chief can accomplish. the problem we have today is that 4 decades of boomer cultural wars have accomplished nothing but leave the public cynical and spent while the country goes to the shitter. that's exactly what obama is going to end. |

that's up to each state, not up to one big federal government commanding all. a republic. maine & nebraska use 50% proportional representation by congressional district. see? |

I'm aware that Maine and Nebraska aren't fucktards, haha. But a president who might give the rest of the states the kick in the ass to follow their lead would be nice. Though I suppose it isn't his place. But that wasn't really my point.

hey there !@#$%!: i'm not trying to say we should wipe out 231 years of US history, remake the constitution, or rally for overthrowing the government. i just think that the electoral college is an outdated means to an end. if the popular vote directly counted then i think that the 2 party conglomerate would start having to actually listen to us. it seems like something that the government could do. i don't think that we should live in a direct democracy, obviously nothing would ever get done at all... there are plenty of archaic things in this country that need to adapt to how people live today. i think something as important as the office of prez ought to be taken from a actual popular vote. that's all. i'm sick of the politics now. |
