Frokane's Mildly Politcal Hangout Thread

@Vilageidiotx

I'm not going to watch the video because it combines two of the worse things in the world - vlogging and pundits.

The party who represents the majority of American interests wins.

"They would just compete for the cities" thing is a fallacy.

There's the problem, and makes my point of discussion things moot. I can't recommend you a goddamn book to read...videos are the best and easiest way to express a point. Especially when you yourself had a heart attack when I typed too much stuff. Well how can one remove thousand of words of typing? A video. But I digress.

The majority has never gotten what it's wanted. The majority of people voted proposition 8 in the every/or nearly every state and yet that was completely overruled and changed. Why? Because we "party that represents" has never actually been the reason the majority of people vote. Somebody mentioned "i vote democrats because that party 'pretends' to care and panders to me." and that in a nutshell capitulates, just how the masses actually vote. I don't feel like getting that deep into it but that's been their mindset for decades.

Pandering has worked for forever, so why stop now? And I already know debating is pointless. This is reality.

usnews.com/opinion/blogs/erbe/2008/11…

".an overwhelming number—70 percent—of black voters in California...voted for Proposition 8 and helped secure its passage,"

Most of the black community, people in the ghetto's especially. Are probably the most socially conservative demographic...all they've need was the untrue stigma that republicans are racist and evil.



But I know you won't watch. So I'll leave it there by knowing arguing against the pandering at this point is intellectually dishonest and not worth debating over.

And No, because the popular vote has never been a thing. And no, the city thing is not a fallacy. If we only did a popular vote, they WOULD pander to cities. Because they could promise that city endless benefits, and make other states pay for them. Why wouldn't they do that? I won't argue the electoral college is perfect or flawless, but if you are arguing to remove it entirely for a popular vote. I reject that ideal for a very good reason.

Like you've done before and I will correct you again. We aren't a democracy. That is a clear distinction needed to be made. We do not get things done by mob rule and presidents have not all been elected 'because of representation of beliefs' because like I said, many people don't even know who believes what. And it's not just kids and teens either. There's no way I can convince you that the electoral college is needed, if I can't even provide evidence that you'll look at. So what's the point? Probably is none.

As biting as the political statements made on here are, I feel like just occasionally posting videos, because I feel like actual discussion is moot. But on the electoral college, and saying letting the minority have a say can lead to problems while in the very same ideal, take the minority of people and make it their biggest causes and pretend it's what they stand for as a whole is a touch ironic. And I mean that statement as people who do it as a whole...

There's many things I've wanted to comment on, but all of them have similar "that's kind of ironic" statements all tied together. This election in general has just shown just how hypocritical both sides have been and its been really embarrassing how immature and absolutely full of s***, so many people actually are. There is no moral principals anymore. At this point both sides seem to behave like petty children. Websites have sunk to an all time low, I respect fewer and fewer people online. I may be genuinely sick of politics, I just wish I'd reach a point of apathy, so people saying stupid and toxic things wouldn't annoy me. <.<

Talk about (almost) anything.

July 15, I'm going on vacation with my sisters in California, for an entire week this time. Last year it was just 4 to 5 days I think? But this time, my older brother is coming too. (I hope he isn't as anti-social as apparently the average person is on this internet. as he tends to be.) So, it should be interesting. Hopefully no fighting or conflict will happen. So I can actually have fun on this vacation. I also should have more money to spend on it as well. So maybe I'll come back with more this time. :P

I need a shitty electronic scale, so I can actually record my process of the weight I am, (or not) losing...I won't even know if I lost any weight this month, and going on vacation. And I'm not sure if this vacation will help, hurt or do nothing to effect my progress. Because it's three months before I'll be able to know for sure. :/ Though the way the first two months went, if I'm NOT where I want to be by then. I'll be upset. Though, I say that. I can't really say losing weight has really changed my mood for the better in the slightest.

Though I'm not an idiot. I know I'm healthier and better off this way. But depression (even the most mild/emo of kinds, don't question it, it's not the point. :P) is an obnoxious thing to shake off. But, it does cross off the only real problem I have with myself, that I can also fix myself.

Will make my next new years resolution, a difficult one. Since I've done everything I've want in life already and I'm not even midway through my 20's yet. :D

Oh, and I saw Wonder Woman recently. I won't try to spoil anything? It was decent. Very cliched writing, extremely predictable. Knew the hidden villain instantly when they came on screen, for instance. (My mom thought it was a bit too long and my brother liked it a lot more, though he was grading on curve. He wasn't happy with the fact the basically left her nowhere to go.) But the fight scenes were enjoyable. The end (were all the budget went.) was flashy enough though it's nowhere near Marvel's Guardian Of The Galaxy 2. The comedic side character, what little she was in the film, was funny. It wasn't boring and all the "Girl Power" scenes it had weren't particularly obnoxious. I got what I wanted, which was an average and enjoyable superhero movie. C+/B-
