America has unfortunatly degraded into a democratic plutocracy. Only the rich can really get elected, whether they be Republican or Democratic.

[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;18037970]Could have voted 3rd party. If people would stop voting for the lesser of two evils and actually voted for someone they liked, we might actually have a competent government.[/QUOTE]
I did! I did!
I voted for Obama because McCain has a shithead for a vice presidential pick, The Constitution Party has a fucking pastor, the Green Party had a shitty replacement for Ralph Nader, and the Libertarian party has a man who will suck anyone's dick if it wins him votes.

That's absolute bullshit, you vote for who is most capable of running a government, not who you fancy.
The lesser evil is the one who has the least chance of fucking up.

Well, atleast you researched the other candidates. Majority of Americans didn't bother, let alone even hear about third party runners.

They didn't have to bother, there were two perfectly good candidates in the main parties this election.
Now, 2000 and 2004.
What the fuck.

I still say he was only elected because he's black and pretty looking. He still hasn't DONE anything major.
People are idiots in general, this is the greatest problem with democracy. If people actually educated themselves and were engaged in politics democracy would work flawlessly.

From what I've heard, the US has the highest incumbency rate in the world. About 98% of elected officials who run for reelection get elected again. Americans are far too lazy. The mindset is "Well, he won last time, so I guess I'll just vote for him again."

I'm pretty sure that civil rights, like the right to a fair trial, is something that affects everyone, not just the people immediately involved.

Jesus was Jewish. And many of His teachings were at least socialist-esque.

remember to give him a source
because he's going to yell "NEED A SOURCE" at you, and by the time you post a source, he will have already forgotten about your example and will be arguing with someone else
