"The anarcho-communists you will always have with you".

I don't think that alone is any indication of what level of fucked the country is

This is one of the starangest posts I've ever read on this board (and that's saying something).

I'm not convinced "violence" is the right word...but I understand it.Halifax2TheMax said:Oh please.

Voting = violence, this country is really fucked.
That said, if everything works well, majority rule doesn't always hold form. We didn't end slavery on a majority popular vote (it would have failed, particularly if the individual states had their own choice. One high-profile example that the right thing can be done despite a likely majority being against it. Admittedly it puts a lot of trust into people who have conflicts of interest between themselves and the public good.

Right. If you start by recognizing the horrible things majorities have done, it’s not hard to make the next step.OnWis97 said:

Take that $ and reallocate to NYers struggling to find a spare $1500 for concert tix.
At least there's plenty of GNR tix available!0 -

This is the very thing we were discussing earlier. Bernie doesn't seek to win on the merits of his position, he seeks to denigrate and disparage his opponents' motives. This is why his supporters are Bernie or Bust, because Bernie himself damages the opponent who is basically on his team.Spiritual_Chaos said:CAMPAIGN 2020: BERNIE SANDERS rips PETE BUTTIGIEG ties to billionaires in fiery NEW HAMPSHIRE speech
