if some celebrity could potentially influence election results. If people truly turn out to vote because some old roastie says so, doesn’t this show that democracy in its current form is BS?

>Democracy isn’t exactly the most sensible thing
as if this is some revelation
Here is Maine 130 years ago saying the same thing
archive.org
you can find Hume saying the same thing another hundred years before that, and then Filmer 100 years before him
you can go back to fucking Plato and Aristotle and see them making similar arguments
Juan Diaz
see also Carlyle talking about 'wirepullers' or Pobedonostsev explaining what the press do
Josiah Hill
I don't vote. Care for yourself fuck the world let it burn.
Jeremiah Miller
So why in God’s name do we worship democracy in this “one adult, one vote” bs way?
Ethan Reyes
Well no shit. Most people are fools, and easily manipulated. Democracy was a mistake
Jordan Gonzalez
precisely for the reason you stated: people are easily controlled by targeted influence
Democracy is not "For the People", rather Democracy is "For the Influential to Use the People".
Josiah Moore
Because it is the only system that makes the populace the true sovereign. It has flaws but it is the only legitimate form of government.
The answer is to remodel it to protect from it's flaws while playing it's strenghts.
For example: A family vote based on the number of children a family has.
Land nobility to counter money nobility.
Hunter Richardson
This, our vote doesn't really matter anyway considering we have the electoral collage to vote for us
Juan Garcia
>it is the only system that makes the populace the true sovereign.
It really doesnt. It makes whoever controls public opinion the sovereign, which is the press, academia, and the civil service, sometimes the courst, it varies from country to country.
Alexander Rogers
False equivalency
It's not the fact that democracy is the issue, it's the fact that the population is retarded.
Brandon Bell
Politicians should be chosen at random. All eligible candidates in a society (no mental illness or retards allowed) are put into a pool with the others and picked by a random number generator. If the chosen person refuses to serve, they are put in prison for what would be the duration of their term.
Gabriel Phillips
Confessional monarchy is best with the King doing what is right in the eyes of the LORD.
Ryder Lewis
We want to establish idiocracy so that Jow Forums would rule the world. Fuck your democracy, germacuck.
Carson Brooks
Nobody controls "public opinion." Make your own decisions, leaf.
Andrew Gonzalez
god i want to cum on her boots so goddamn much
Josiah Mitchell

are you guys retarded?
Anthony Price
>no mental illness or retards allowed
So no more Democrats. I'm starting to like this idea.
Thomas Phillips
there's something else going on here.
taylor swift is signaling she wants to
be suffocated during intercourse.
that's why she's turned blue, you
turn blue if someone suffocates you.
Grayson Perez
Go away Eliza ffs.
Camden Gutierrez
Past prime childbearning age. As an unmarried woman, that makes her worthless.
Thomas Morris
Democracy is always bs
Camden Stewart
-_-
Levi Stewart
Hence the republic.
Colton Hall
please m8. My family, who are all intelligent academics, almost all of them have phds in the sciences, literally just repeat NYT headlines at each other in this bizarre charade as though they were coming up with the ideas themselves.
This is typical of almost everybody i have ever met in academia and throughout society in general. I know barely any conservatives but I assume they just do the same thing with Right wing publicaitons
Adam Edwards
BS.
I think votes should be earned. If you pay your taxes, don’t commit any crimes, have a job and have several friends vouch for your character, you should be allowed to get to sit for the vote capabilities test.
Jacob Morgan
she's past her prime
the femen virus is taking over
it happens to all barren women
Jackson Russell
NPCs shouldn't be able to vote
Ryan Cox
Hoolllly shiiieeet she's full hrt, estro, progesterone, t3.
Dominic Jenkins
>Democrat: Democracy is always bs
That quote is fucking almost as retarded as you. It's saying that the vote of the people is more powerful than it's comparative replacement.
Austin Cox
What? Fucking say what you mean retard. I know I'm right.
Josiah Young
I loved thr N64 Golden Eye shit. Was cool as fuck.
Noah Robinson
>For example: A family vote based on the number of children a family has.
Nice, Germany would already be fucked because all the niggers, sandniggers, turks, balkans, literally everyone has more kids than germans. Great idea fucking retard.
Thomas Sanders
yikes, she's hitting the wall hard huh?
Benjamin Stewart
There should absolutely be a test. It shouldn't be ball breakingly hard, but you should know what's in the constitution and how laws get passed and shit
Christian Bailey
1) Only net taxpayers vote for congress
2) Only active duty and retired military vote for executive
Authority must be coupled with responsibility. If you pay more in taxes than you receive in benefits, you get to vote on where the money goes. If you've served your country in a legitimate forward deployment role where you faced actual physical harm or death, you get to have a say in foreign policy and how the military is used.
John Moore
Democracy is the most legitimate system of government we've come up with. The problem is universal suffrage. Equality is a false god.
Lincoln Johnson
Quick redpill: democracy is just the political consequence of using the musket as a primary military weapon. It became obsolete with the invention of the Maxim Gun, and probably would have never existed if European aristocracy had gotten off their asses and made the cannon faster/lighter/more accurate a couple centuries earlier.
Asher Perry
A system like that would just make the goal to game the definitions of "net taxpayer" and "military service". Implement that, and you get some kind of system where every dindu and vagina-haver can sign up for some kind of two weeks of sitting on their ass and get a vote.
Carter Cruz
>implying the majority of the population isn't npcs who get all their opinions from late-night comedy
Ryan Lopez
Democratic
Juan Powell
1. Because at one point it was "one man, one vote, one gun". Get the most guns on your side, and you win. Preaching equality and the sovereignty of the masses was a great way to get a whole bunch of people on your side
2. Because masses are easy to influence, so if you can influence the masses, you have a very good reason to favor a political system that lets you translate this influence into formal political power
Easton Phillips
Democracy is the Dictatorship of the Dumb - that's why it's the preferred system to be raped by the Jews.
Connor Sanchez
>most legitimate
Most militarily powerful, at one point. Once we say one soul is as good as another, why stop at landowners, or men, or citizens, or even humans?
Luke Collins
In a Monarchy, Christianity comes normally, that's why Russia and all the other countries (((lost))) theirs - Jews have no power there.
We are nearing the End of the Line, folks. And I am not talking about the ticket line...
America was the last Rebublic, and it's fall is in full swing
Parker Young
Good to have you in the thread, Mr. Yarvin

Now that Taylor is fat and liberal, watch how black guys start 'liking her sound'.
