    . The United States is a republic governed by states. That’s why a popular vote is an incredibly stupid idea as it conflicts with our form of government.

      No. You vote for your state stuff and you vote for your federal government, these are separate things and the votes should be counted equally, equality is a necessity to a good version of democracy.

        The founding fathers hated democracy. They knew it would lead to idiots voting for the wrong things.

        That’s why we vote for people to represent us.

      Do you prefer voting for somebody that promises to do what a large diverse group of people want or voting on issues directly?

          The idea is the majority vote for stupid things. The people we vote it are supposed to balance it with intelligence. Just because children want extra candy doesn’t mean they should get the the candy.

              They want free housing, free college, free food, free money. Does that sound like adults or children ?

                It sounds like you make shit up and like you are stuck with your head up your ass and are not interested in actual politics. Or you fell for Russian propaganda wich is meant to split societies in the western world. Imagine thinking that affordable education is a bad thing and that affordable housing is the downfall of humanity… Like bro, inflation fucked young people super hard and conservatives should be interested in keeping wealth of a nation equal to what ot was, statistically the actual wealth of USA is on the fall, its literally just the top 1% that get richer, everyone else gets more and more impoverished. Socioeconomic problems are actually there and need to be solved. Not wanting to solve them out of spite is the worst form of mental illness i can imagine.

                  I am not sure what your response has to do with what I said. Inflation screwed many people and you can thank Biden for that. He just kept spending money that didn’t need to be spent.

                  If you think inflation is bad now, wait till Kamala gets In office.

                  Socioeconomic problems are easily solved. I’m not sure why you think the government needs to solve your problem. Thank you for proving my point.

                    Bro you need some serious education on economics, what biden did basically saved the ass of the US economy. Trump fucked it up with his populist politics that had no basis. Biden did the exactly right thing what a government needs to do. Governments should save money for bad times and then spend that for projects that help the economy and people get through bad times, a country isn’t a company that needs to be profitable. It seems like you really lack proper education regarding economics, id recommend you to read a book about it, its a interesting topic that is very helpful in life.
