Apparently NYT just did an opinion piece called "Elections Are Bad For Democracy" and The Atlantic did a piece called "Americans Vote Too Much".
*edit: NYT changed the title to "The Worst People Run for Office. It’s Time for a Better Way."
If they know they can't win, can't cheat enough and can't stop Trump running, will they sabotage the entire election? If there is no election and Joey Bribes time is up, who steps in? Military?
Corruption seems to be the norm, no matter how big or small the government entity. I was in a Home Owners Association and even with such a small "government" the people in charge abused the money for their own benefit. Minimal power corrupts minimally, absolute power corrupts absolutely :)
Exactly! I am so glad I moved away and live in a regular, non-HOA, neighborhood (now if something can just be done about the guy at the end of the street who burns garbage :) ) I became President of our HOA several years ago; immediately weeded out the waste and started some bylaws to hopefully prevent the abuse of the board. But even with that, a later board managed to spend a ridiculous amount of money on a small project that should have been voted on by the members, according to a new bylaw, but they didn't have the vote and did the project anyway.
Unfortunately it is the norm of mankind since the fall. We are corrupted by sin and that is why we need the Savior. God gave a gift of redemption through faith in Christ

Honestly, I could do without yearly elections. What I could do with more of is a way to remove the corrupt that we did not elect.

Our HOA is a microcosm of a fascistic dictatorship. They treat the residents like sheep and themselves like blessed holy shepherds.

https://archive.is/AZ8mp is the link for the elections NYT article, it seems to be the only page with a Chinese translation option attached to it.?
Thanks. It looks like they changed the title to "The Worst People Run for Office. It’s Time for a Better Way."
what's with the Chinese translation??
No idea tbh. Perhaps their shit reads better in their Master's language?
I honest to God can't even tell if you are being sarcastic / satirical or not.... Did these articles actually get published??
We are a constitutional Republic !
I guarantee you they will try. Maybe thats when the military will step in
