let me teach you what democracy is...the majority get what they want, and the minority dont....thats your glorious democracy....a mob of jackasses, stomping on the rights of the few
@longfootbuddy I know all to well about the democracy we have come to live in. As I state in the comment section in the video, we should live in a Republic. It's what this country was founded as. We as a people have allowed it to become a "mob rule", and only we can fix it. Education and persistence are key in correcting this.
@rjwical i dont even want a republic...i dont want a representative speaking or acting on my behalf...id prefer a body of laws that protect the rights of individuals from other individuals or groups of individuals...a body of set laws, that groups cant vote to change
I agree with your idea about the Republican and Democratic parties essentially being the same. The emphasis is placed on the Presidential candidate and the party he/she represents and drawn away from the actual ideas being represented. They're asking us to choose between a poodle and a sheepdog when half of us don't even want a mammal.
Correct you are!! Our votes are supposed to sway the electoral college. However, most of the electoral college votes are already decided even before the election results are in. So yes, in a nut shell our "civic duty" is just a farce to make us feel like we had some choice in the matter. So vote, don't vote, it's already decided.
Well the ballot still has other issues on it. We still need to vote but we just need to care more about the real issues, (not whom the the next President will be). We are not guaranteed a vote for President by the Constitution.

Great post, way to go. At least you research your facts before you post a video.

Thank you. I try to. It's hard with the media piping their propaganda but it can be done.
