Nevada's Democratic Party Chair Jill Derby tells The UpTake that turnout for the Nevada Caucuses exceeded all expectations. She tells The UpTake's Corrine McDermid why Nevada was chosen to be one of the early states in the nominating process. And Corrine tries to sort out what it all means.
What I am suggesting is that you get off your happy ass and actually read the NI legislation you might find it to be a fundamentalist christians wet dream. There are enough of them to get a constitutional amendment passed which will not be subject to a review by the courts.

What do you suggest a dictatorship, where either you are or pick the dictator, or a republic with intelligence tests where you decide the questions/intelligence level.
If people just gave a shit about their country forms of democracy would work fine, but people don't. It's not the systems fault.

I wish it were actually just that but 30 years of history should clue you in that no matter who gets elected they represent the corporations that got them elected instead of the people who. Our republic has problems but democracy is not the solution. 49 years in the south I can guarantee you there are more rednecks in America than intellectuals and you don't want my pickup driving neighbors making laws for you.

Then what we do have when less than 50% of people vote in our republic, and decide for the rest who rules government that decide these rights to take away.

Democracy is mob rule. 51% being able to take the rights away from the rest of us. Huge difference.

And its so different from democracy that everyone just refers to our republic as a democracy.

Then maybe we need another civil war. The founding fathers hated democracy so much they created a Republic so it would never happen.
