Political Memes

Leftists are simultaneously numerous enough to cost the democrats the election while also being not numerous enough for the democrats to want to move left to capture that block. The enemy is weak and also strong.

No they're just morons who demand to vote against their interests.

Do voters actually have authority?

Yes! The votes determine who takes office, see? That’s how that works.

Princeton University said public opinion has “near-zero” impact on U.S. law.

Well i’m suspect of any sociological determination but the simple answer is: opinion is not a vote. We don’t vote on the laws, we vote on the people who vote on the laws. So having an opinion doesn’t do anything to the law. It’s like saying public opinion has “near-zero” effect on the migration of the South African swallow.

Seems like voters have a singular ability to legitimize the authority of those who rule over us.

Wow, you really - um. Yes? Voters do authorize people to hold office (and, by extension, deny others the authority to hold office) but the “ruling over us” part is just a weird way to say it. You see, governments are how societies agree to . . . Okay wait, so when people agree to live in society, they . . Okay let’s talk about the Constitution. You see they left this England place because it was bogus, and they were like, hey - if we don’t get some cool rules, pronto, then we’ll just be bogus too!

When trump is gone I am definitely going to go to brunch. But otherwise (and still) no.
