Thank you public opinion for fucking up checks and balances

you're a fucking idiot

you seriously want socialism in the U.S.?

great idea you fucktard

the greatest myth of all.

prepare for the exodus of wealth. the US is slowly turning into a downright hostile place to conduct any kind of productive enterprise.

Do any of you know what tyranny of the majority is? Do you guys know the story of Socrates?

Have you guys read Federalist No. 10?

The situation we're in right now is the exact type of thing Jefferson and Madison feared and Hamilton thought would never happen. Way to go public opinion.

i think people are going to be in a world of shock when they see what obama's real plan is

Blah, blah, blah, everyone hates everyone else.  More than likely 99% of the kids in this thread wouldn't ever know the difference since all you do is smoke weed and bitch about America.  I know a fair few people here who do anything useful, but like I said, a few.  I would be embarassed to have an opinion on shit that I a) don't understand since I hadn't actually been old enough to vote or experience what happens, or b) don't have a job (not McDonalds, but a fucking job that might actually be affected by what happens in the country).  "fromyourstruly", for example (ya, I'll call you out since you do it to the entire US population so often - ps, if you respond, I won't read it because you are an idiot and I rarely believe what you have to say), has a daily opinion on why the world is so selfish and gay compared to him.  Too bad my parents don't pay for all my shit so I can tell other people how terrible they are.  I guarantee I put more into my community, my family, and my country than any one of you and it makes me sick to hear everyone bitch so much.  I am always proud to be an American, but some of the people here make me wonder why sometimes.  Apparently the majority of America is simply pissed off at America.

Oh, and since no one actually said anything intelligent to counter the thread creator (or anything even on topic), I would suggest you research what a filibuster actually is before you say it's a great thing that the country is now essentially a dictatorship.  The thread creator was upset (rightfully so) that the country can only go in the direction that a handful of people want it to.  That is dangerous.  It has nothing to do with your political opinion, it is simply dangerous to not have those balances in the United States.

you cant really think that is true

he's not saying the capitalists will be strung up in the square. He is just pointing out the very real domination of the democratic party in Washington. The republican minority will make it incredibly hard to really counter liberal movements.

hahahah this sooo screams "freshman poli sci major."

in 8 years, what will you say when things went well?

This screams "i've never read a book in my life"

The presidential term lasts for 4 years bozo. You Obama people sound like you want a Caesar here, "Dictator for Life." Already calling for an 8 year reign when the first day hasn't even come yet. You make me sick. This guy has not proven anything in his entire career. The only thing he has proven is his incredible ability to take the american people for a ride. With obama's connections to Bill Ayers alone, he would never be able to obtain a job with the FBI or the CIA. Well, lets give him the presidency then.

First, to anyone who's argument here is 'If you dont like it, LEAVE', you're a fucking moron and need to shut your mouth and reconsider those great American freedoms.

On the subject now, I'm actually a little flustered too. I dont really like seeing our country completely dominated politically by one party. While it does get shit done, it really just tends to deepen the divide between our people.

As an alternative, I'd love to see more independants get a seat here and there. We need to start getting people on middle ground, not on either side of lines, in order to make our government work effectively. We need some god damned moderation.

Electoral college decides. If it were true democracy we would.

these are my exact thoughts. the shit some of you guys are saying is so off the mark its shocking. if you think america is going to suddenly be liberal as shit, then you dont have a clue whats going on and all i can say is DONT WORRY america will continue to be a great place for rich conservative douches like you

Enough with the fucking political threads......i know so many of you guys are going to be go " ohh free speech, i can talk about what ever i want" But is this going to go anywhere.

Conservatives/Republicans..........you lost. Get over it. You had 8 years with right  wing government, people got fed up, and you lost. I don't care about anything else you bring up, you guys still lost. Get over it, and try to think how you can make your country better with the new president you have.

Liberals/Democrats......stop fucking gloating.  Sure you have a new guy in office promissing everything you have been dreaming about for years, but ITS ALL TALK UNTILL ANYTHING GETS DONE FOR REAL. He is still just the president elect, and not JESUS CHRIST here to save you.  Yes you won, but it doesn't give you the right to be a dicks.

Now, i know the election is still fresh as fuck, but could we start to move on please.  Making a million different threads insulting each other is just so stupid. You want to talk politics...J.D. made a political thread. Talk in there. Everything else is just a ploy to get attention.
