112. EVASION ALERT!!!

You want to claim we're the US... as if that ends the discussion... but it only raises deeper questions that you clearly are unprepared to discuss and rushed to a lame deflection.

The political theory upon which our nation was founded holds it's the PEOPLE who are the sovereigns... government power flows from that, and government is only morally legitimate power IF it has the consent of the governed. You want to bastardize those principles to legitimate government that does NOT have the consent of the governed and to make the People subservient to a system originally designed to give elites a veto over the People, for class warfare (Madison's opulent of the minority) and to protect slavery.

How goddamn noble... and spoken like a right winger who has contempt for democratic principles. You can't even stand up for the simple principles that every citizen has the right to vote their conscience and get some representation for their beliefs, and every citizen's vote should weigh the same. You can't even stand up for the principle that 4% of the US population should not be able to block reforms or that states with 40% should not be able to impose amendments on the nation. You can't even stand up for the principle that those representing 18% of the nation should not have a veto over anything coming out of the House. And you can't even stand up for the principle that NO ONE should ever become president after being rejected by the People in the popular vote.

Shame.
