  1. What democracy?.. My right to waste my time walking to the local school to hand my vote over to people who just got here yesterday..
    Have them look me up and down like I’m a POS.. Only to lose again..

    No thanks.. I’m done with the illusion of democracy.. You may be able to take my country but your not getting my 20 minutes anymore..
    It belongs to me and you cant have it..

    1. Oh … it’s still “Democracy” … it’s THEIR Democracy. It’s THEIR supermajority Fascism … squeezing out ALL other voices. They just paint their Fascism in the rainbow colors of Democracy.

    2. “hand my vote over to people who just got here yesterday”

      LOLWUT? So what if they got here yesterday?

      1. They have not contributed to my country financialy, socially or morally, for the last 67 years as I have. They are trying to change my country into the third word cesspool that they have fled. I will not stand for it.

        1. ” They are trying to change my country into the third word cesspool that they have fled”

          That’s a lie.

          “They have not contributed to my country financialy, socially or morally, for the last 67 years as I have. ”

          Well duh they just got here, now they’re going to contribute-first by taking your vote.

  2. There was a point in the evolution of British parliamentary democracy where you had to be a landowner in order to vote. The intent being that one had to have a stake in the society in order to have a voice in it’s direction. The pendulum kept on swinging to the current situation where net contributors are overwhelmed by net recipients. Or, as Margaret Thatcher once said, “The problem with socialists is that eventually they run out of other people’s money”. Even that isn’t true anymore since they just make the money up out of thin air, impoverishing the productive and unproductive alike. The tyranny of the majority. I don’t think it can be fixed short of complete social breakdown.

    1. +++Stevo and I think you are right about what will fix the problem. It has been that way throughout history.

    2. “I don’t think it can be fixed short of complete social breakdown.”

      Which is why I keep cheering for this to hit bottom. The quicker we get there, the quicker realization dawns, the quicker we begin recovery.
