Isn't that cute, pretending we're still going to have elections.
NO DEMOCRACY ALLOWED, YOU PLEBS
Sincerely,
Your Plutocrats
Out of curiosity, what constitutional basis do they have to do this? Elections are explicitly run by the states and there's nothing about RCV or any voting system that prevents a fair election.
RCV favours moderate candidates. If you are in a political extreme, you might argue that that's not fair. But I don't see how it not being perfect can result in a ban. Specially when the current system is more unfair.
There's anywhere from 100-400MM USD distributed for election security and infrastructure provided by the federal government to states on a yearly basis. The path forward would likely to be barring distribution of such funds for any state which holds RCV elections.
The same one where they can skip due process and "deport" people.
The rules are pretty muddy right now.
There working on the constitutional basis of wanting to become a dictatorship, can't have people voting against you now can you?
Where are all of y'all dumb motherfuckers that were going on about how the two party system is rigged and you wanted RCV, and therefore you couldn't vote for Democrats because they weren't adequately enthused about the idea
Where the fuck are you bitches
We're hiding in our basements waiting for Trump to save Gaza
Knew this was coming.
Expect a bunch of democrats to jump on board to save their jobs.
They'll check and see how many votes the repubs need first, and put up that many plus a few for safety. The rest of the dems get to pretend to be opposed. But whatever the repubs need from dems, they will get.
That's exactly the backdoor deals they are doing, they only publicly hate each other, but behind the scenes they support the same agenda. Once in a while they allow one of their agenda to be pushed or blocked taking turns doing it, and this designed to gauge support for said bills from voters.
"Don't worry, we'll reverse our decision later. Yeah. You just need to wait!"
These guys are goading us into imposing street justice.
And that'll goad them into enacting marshall law, and well, they have tanks.
History repeats
Fuck this
hr 42069 - "take away everything good and make sadness mandatory"
If the Democrats cant completely unify against this then I can confidently say they're not worth supporting at all.
It's amazing that you haven't come to this conclusion already, honestly
They sent trump a fucking letter after the 40% approval rating Shit, they belong against the wall with the nazis
You serve us you lame bitches.
And here it is, the dashing of hopes. It was nice while it lasted.
