Goddamn people are obsessed with pretending they’re a part of something that could really happen.

That’s a real option?

When you beat off do you only fantasize about people you’ve already ****ed?

2:15 until the showdown. Good luck tonight. And remember, if it doesn't go the way you want, it's only the fate of the Republic.

I've picked up a 12 pack of Corona to help my television screaming, and to support my Mexican brothers.

but Democracy doesn't mean exclusively Mob Rule, often what defines a Democracy is its opposition rights
to me it's more a lesser of evils than an inherent virtue. I don't care about everyone having equal say as an ideal. But the alternative of dictatorship just has more potential to go drastically wrong.

I'm fine with representative democracy as a compromise but I don't see the point in weighting the input of certain states over others. I've yet to hear anyone here offer any compelling reason why the electoral college is actually preferable to the popular vote...Big3 just made a vague appeal to mob rule not being ideal but I don't see how mob rule on the state level is somehow preferable.
