    Or you could maybe take actions to fix the system. Because whatever you lot come up with after dismantling is going be worse for everybody else.

      You can still do both. The only viable path to election reform comes from downballot state elections anyway.

        Not sure that I follow what you mean. You can’t fix a system that is being dismantled, so I’m guessing that you mean something else.

          Well if you properly dismantle the system, we won’t be voting this November anyway. Better get on that quick, bud.

            I disagree, if we are legitimately talking about dismantling the USA, like what happened to USSR, then it will take decades or more to do peacefully. Not gonna happen overnight, babe.

              Bro I thought we were talking about the election system, not the whole damn country. You wanna destroy the country, elect trump. I guess that’s why you encourage people not to vote for biden.

                I never said anything about destroying the country. If Texas wants to secede, let them, I say. If democrats and republicans can’t get along, then keep em separated, I say.

                Also, I only encourage people to vote their conscience. I don’t care who they vote for.

                If you lot are trying to talk about election reform again, then go back and listen to what Lawrence Lessig was talking about before the democrats blocked him from the debates to protect hillary.

                edit: and don’t call me bro. use the proper “brother” or don’t bother, i’m not gender-conforming

                  these flippant “just let them secede and suffer and die” comments are sad to read.

                  You’re also not allowed to complain about him calling you “bro” after you ended with “babe“ previously.

                    it’s sad to read that you think that Texas couldn’t survive on it’s own. I believe in Texas. Remember the Alamo.

                    You’re also not allowed to complain about him calling you “bro” after you ended with “babe“ previously.

                    Excuse me? Butting in where it’s not necessary is not appreciated. This fellow started out using the terms of endearment of “bud”, so piss off.
