  1. "Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security." " Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people." ― The Declaration of Independence

  2.  @wordforger  Why do 'conservatives' think the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution are 'Commie Stuff'? Either you're a ridiculously uneducated fascist nutjob OR you're right, and the US Founding Fathers intended the US to be a 'Commie' nation. Which is it?

  3.  @wordforger  If you think the Declaration of Independence is 'Commie stuff', you should move to Russia.

  5. The electoral college is anti-democratic in the way it destroys the spectrum of representation and forces polarization. It's pre-industrial and obsolete. It turns a broad analog spectrum of represented ideas into a super-low frequency binary output. Wrong tool for the job. Not only is the population inevitably polarized, but a great deal of representation is lost. Duverger's Law explains this: “Duverger’s Law holds that plurality-rule elections (such as first past the post) structured within single-member districts tend to favor a two-party system, whereas "the double ballot majority system and proportional representation tend to favor multipartism". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duverger%27s_law

  6. If the government abandons the Constitution, at what point do We the People refer to the Declaration of Independence for guidance?

  7. I hope he recovers eventually. We the People can't lock Demagogue Donny up for the rest of his life if he passes away. If 2,977 people died from the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, then Dereliction-of-Duty Donny's criminal negligence has led to 70 times that many lives lost to the Trump Virus - so far. Oh, and there’s the equivalent of another 9/11 in American lives lost to the Trump Virus every few days. Osama bin Laden couldn't have dreamed of doing as much damage to the US through terrorism as Dereliction-of-Duty Donny has through criminal negligence. "A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person." https://www.realclearscience.com/blog/2016/09/the_basic_laws_of_human_stupidity.html ------------------------------------------- "I do not take responsibility at all." ― Impeached President 'Dereliction of Duty Donny' Trump “Responsibility is a unique concept... You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished. You may delegate it, but it is still with you... If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion, or ignorance or passing the blame can shift the burden to someone else. Unless you can point your finger at the man who is responsible when something goes wrong, then you have never had anyone really responsible.” ― Admiral H.G. Rickover, Father of the US Nuclear Navy

  10. “Caution in handling generally accepted opinions that claim to explain whole trends of history is especially important for the historian of modern times, because the last century has produced an abundance of ideologies that pretend to be keys to history but are actually nothing but desperate efforts to escape responsibility.” ― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism “Responsibility is a unique concept... You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished. You may delegate it, but it is still with you... If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion, or ignorance or passing the blame can shift the burden to someone else. Unless you can point your finger at the man who is responsible when something goes wrong, then you have never had anyone really responsible.” ― Admiral H.G. Rickover, Father of the US Nuclear Navy
