I'm sure Murica will back up from war areas. I'm very sure they will keep every promise they make.

Oh cool. More false equivalence bullshit. Ever heard of the Supreme Court?
madetheaccountjustforyou
I detest the implication that the President is some sort of required authority figure to keep all us "children" in line.
wadatahmydamie
I mean, have you met Americans?

We need a new Interregnum.

it was one of the systems of society attempted by european settlers in america… 1/2 died the first winter in a race to do the least n live
nicholcm

Maybe it's the plan to sent dumb people into debates, so the population is forced to handle stuff without relying on the government.
IfYouLiveInNWOhioYouShouldMessageMe
Thats kinda how its supposed to be. We arent supposed to be relying on our government to fix everything.

Found it the other day (after watching that John Oliver report). Here's hoping more people see it.

Ya that what made me aware of him saw a few interviews and ads but that was another level.

Fun Fact: Belgium went years without a real government.

There can be no king without a country, but there can be a country without a king.

How many? Spain's about to reach the first anniversary and it's working out kinda well.

That's because they have a solid handle on their waffle situation, I bet.

541 days. Footnote: only the federal government. Also the previous gov was still appointed as interim, just couldn't open new cases.
drizzler
I'd be ok with that. Can we do that, please?

And look at them now. Dutch bastards.

Harboring terrorists?

During the height of the economic recession too. In the end their economy recovered faster that their neighbors.
OriginaIPoster
That's Belgium. I have a feeling shutting down a country supporting 300,000,000 people is a bad idea. Especially when nearly 10,000,000
NewCrobuzonCitizen
Thats not what he mean. Thats not how it works here.
OriginaIPoster
of those people rely on the government for welfare.

Surely your civil service could provide that entirely independently of strategic leadership?

For many American voters this year it will be a matter of voting against their least desirable candidate, rather than for their favorite.
WildSnarker
Welcome to First Past the Post voting. Don't like it? There's a ballot initiative in Maine you might want to pay attention to.
jogthejewelsquickly
Explain
WildSnarker
For the first or second place candidates. Maine's initiative, if passed, would allow for ranked voting - rank your choices in order. 2/5
WildSnarker
5/5 In other words, you can vote your conscience without the same risk that your least-favorite candidate will win the election.
WildSnarker
If nobody wins outright, the person with the most votes gets removed, their votes go to that voter's next-favorite, and you check again. 3/5
WildSnarker
So if I love A, hate B, and am fine with C, I can vote A, C, B, and if A loses my vote will go to C instead of remaining irrelevant. 4/5
WildSnarker
First Past the Post is what we have now: Vote for one candidate, whoever gets the most votes wins. So the only votes which matter are 1/5
jogthejewelsquickly
Commentator delivered. Thanks for the great explanation
WildSnarker
No worries. I wish more people were informed on this; you'd think third parties would be fighting tooth and nail for it.
