China is despicable but I think that the moral ground of the US regarding this kind of issue is quite shaky.
China on the other hand if you don't support putting muslims in concentration camps, you end up there yourself
Yes China is quite flawed, but this attempt at maintaining the status quo really only serves to halt progress.
Please do not try to push the CCP's propaganda by knocking the United States, it only ends one way, and that is all of us being slaves to winnie the pooh
Not actually true since Bush lost the popular vote in the 2000 election.
“A majority of the electoral college, representing a second-place minority of the eligible individuals casting ballots for Presidential electors”, if you want to be accurate, but certainly not a “majority of the population” or even “a majority of voters in the general election”, and not even “a plurality of voters in the general election”.
You don't see any possibility that informed criticism of USA policy of undeclared and unprovoked war might lead to better policy? American pacifists shouldn't argue for peace? Shouldn't vote for peace? If that is your position, don't be surprised when we put an end to the Union... all of humanity will benefit, but 3.5% of humanity will be sad for a moment.
After all, if 150 million and one believe that killing a million civilians is acceptable and is able to support carrying out that activity that means that society is corrupt.
If 1 man believes that killing a million civilians is acceptable and is able to carry out that activity that means that society is merely incapable of enforcing moral will.
Isn't that what design-by-committee is? Or upper management hiring consulting firms to "validate" a plan they already had in mind?
It was subsequently found that a full state recount would have given the result to Al Gore. Less debatably, a Gore win would have been the certain result if there had been no racial bias in disallowed votes, and also if the voting machines had simply worked properly.
IMO a Gore win would have prevented 9/11, avoided the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, set the scene for a less adversarial relationship with China, and pushed the global economy towards sustainability with time to spare - and possibly also avoided the economic bubble that eventually caused the recession in 2008.
As a consequence, if those in control of both parties want something (which was the case for the Iraq War), there is absolutely no way for the people to vote against it.
This is without even talking about how consent is manufactured.
