When you have a first past the post, winner take all voting system you will always end up with two parties. It’s just how the math works out. In smaller races you can get occasional break-outs from the two but in the big presidential race it is extraordinarily unlikely.
Best we might hope for is getting a constitutional convention called and getting a new system like instant runoff voting (or something else…there are a few to choose from with different up/down sides). That is also very unlikely to happen.
Unless you think that by some fucking miracle, a third party is going to be so acceptable to the partisan American populace that it will marginalize both existing parties, in which case you’re still crazy.
To be fair, a system that has multiple stable parties will generally run better. If one party decides to be obstructionist, than the other parties just continue to govern without them.
there are many reasons I would be in favor of a multiparty system, but I am under no illusion that such a system would come about just because I voted for gary johnson.
Sec 2: The words of the Constitution matter, even though they were written years ago by dead white men.
Sec 3: Any judge who begins to push at this line must write, by hand, two thousand times, “I am sorry I tried to substitute my desired outcome for the text of the Constitution. I firmly resolve to never again do this.” Judges refusing the punishment are immediately removed from office.
What is the legal definition of “corruptly” w/r/t “corruptly, or by threats or force”?
It seems like a third way to obstruct justice which does not involve either threats or force. I’m guessing the exchange of money or other considerations, but perhaps it is broader than that…
I’ll risk getting “not the answer I want”. What is your take? I know the Prez can declassify material, but that sort of short explanation is too simplistic. As far as deliberately interfering in an ongoing FBI investigation (he DID) that might eventually settle on him, I doubt it’s so simple.
an Anti Christ? Not even close. To be an Anti Christ you have to know what you are doing, and have a plan. This Donald Dump guy is just a spoiled two year old shit head who never got the beatings he so obviously deserves.
The important thing to remember is that Trump has committed no illegal acts, or at least there is not a reasonable certainty of conviction for illegal acts.
Therefore, it’s all good, and Trump can proceed as usual. No problems here! Look away!
It was obviously not serious, but I just wondered… Though I don’t think a constitutional convention can ever be convened. Just like you shouldn’t ask questions you don’t know the answers to, you shouldn’t appoint an all-powerful assembly when you have no idea what it will do.
