RE: Politics, Partisanship, and Propaganda
She isn't different. Her means are identical to those used by Trump. She demands obedience under penalty of theft, kidnapping, or murder.
If her ideas are really good, why can't she find a way to enact them voluntarily? Politics is antithetical to cooperative problem solving.
When government monopolizes a service, it doesn't transform extortion into a blessing. It transforms a necessary service into a bureaucracy.
lolwut? All I said was listen to some of her ideas sometime, which this line shows you clearly have not.
Although our current Congress + presidential cabinet is a shit show, politics is actually meant to be synonymous with cooperative problem solving. This all goes out the window when bipartisanship, civility, and common sense is nowhere to be found. Imposing term limits on members of Congress would be a great start to revitalizing their efficiency in solving some problems.
I have listened to her ideas. I still disagree with her ends and means. That means compliance will be coerced under threat and duress if she gets her way. That isn't cooperation.
There is nothing cooperative about politics. Politics is an artificial zero-sum game. There is no representation. Democracy is a myth. It is no more legitimate than astrology is a science.
Alright man :D
Burden of proof is yours to show that representation is a thing that exists. You can't simply make an assertion and dismiss reasoned dissent.
