Lmao why are you explaining incredibly basic things even people outside of the US know and acting like you’re saying something incredible and knowledgeable?

This is literally primary school content for 11 year olds. How old are you @spaceghoti ? Why on earth do you think this is notable or worth raising and act like it’s something everyone hasn’t already heard before?

Have you read the Federalist Papers? Specifically number 10.

Wow…this is the first time I’m hearing about this. Can you recommend some more reading if I’m interested in learning more??

Honestly this all sounds like arbitrary shit someone made up without proper justification or consideration.

All forms of goverment have checks and balances. How is this special?

All forms of goverment are a way to achive consensus amongst the rulling class. How is this different?

Why is this separation of powers the ideal one?

Why separate the legislative and the judiciary when there is a rich tradition of common law?

Why cant the executive act by commitie or in a decentralized way?

Are these “powers” actually autonomus or arbitrary constructions dependent on other institutions to act?

Why are these considered the central responsabilities of the state? Why cant the legislature and the judiciary be separate from the state like in the abassid era?

Why cant a workers party be a branch?

Cause the Founding Father’s. Ever heard of them? Probably not. You have to have a very high IQ to know about them and how they are perfect.

Bet you didn’t consider that did you tankie? smuglord

Oh no, not the constitution!

Stay away fellow hexbears! Let my shrunken corncob shaped corpse be a warning to you all, this poster has the power of the constitution on their side!

I also enjoy light fiction on occasion.

Tell me about the freedom-loving slaveowner founding fathers next. The dang tea is taxed too high!

Farman ,

Other way around. The tea taxes are going down so smugling is no longer profitable.

I also learned about the American government in sixth grade and then never thought about it again until this very moment

Fun fact: Did you know that a young George Washington chopped down a cherry tree?

we know how the us government works, the problem is that the way it works is evil and must be changed for the good of humanity.

This is a democracy designed to represent slave owners, just like Athenian ‘democracy’.

This is literally just bait and has no place in this community. Moderators should delete this on that grounds alone.

If it’s allowed, then I wouldn’t begrudge any Hexbear user(s) from spamming the comm with random political theory posts, especially those of the communist variety

Nakoichi , (edited )
@Nakoichi@hexbear.net avatar

That’s why I think it should be left up.

If someone wants to call us out, then we have the right to be able to argue against them.

Also it is literally the Politics channel so how can political theory posts be considered spam?

thoro ,

Yeah everyone should have that right, but I don’t think it does anyone any favors to allow these type of posts on this comm.

It’s one thing to invite dunking on yourself in the comments section of a topical post. It’s another to create posts just for the sake of stoking inter instance drama in a comm not made for that.

Nakoichi , (edited )
@Nakoichi@hexbear.net avatar

Yeah that’s true on the one hand, but on the other, I would leave it up just for accountability. It is about politics in every way, even if it has a meta nature.

Plus by leaving it up they get to show their ass and it invites people to come and explain how they are wrong.

aebletrae ,

Attempting to master baiting in public should certainly have consequences, but covering it up isn’t going to make them stop.

@Doubledee@hexbear.net avatar

Especially considering the poster doesn’t seem to have any interest in either explaining or defending what it’s supposed to mean. Like, I enjoy talking about politics as much as the next person but it doesn’t look like OP wants to discuss anything.

spaceghoti OP ,

Not with you, no.

StalinwasaGryffindor ,

They have fallen victim to the great purge so it’s possible they’ve replied but we can’t see them

Wouldn’t the person trying to get Manchin to vote alongside other democrats be the party whip, which is a member of the legislature?

Honestly this comes off as comically pathetic attempt at a gotcha. Like “technically…” but youre just wrong about the facts.

@Nakoichi@hexbear.net avatar

jesse-wtf

Uhhhh what exactly are you hoping to achieve by posting this third grade level description of the US government structure?

Like what exactly are you responding to or hoping to achieve with this post?

spaceghoti OP ,

Got what I wanted, thanks!

@WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net avatar

Not a smart person, can someone explain:

Why is an electoral system where 2/3 of the house is unelected and the third branch is indirectly elected via an electoral college seen as democratic?

Like, I live in the UK so I can’t really talk about antidemocratic systems gestures at the lords, but this doesn’t seem like a system that allows for a person’s vote to be worth much.

BurgerPunk ,
@BurgerPunk@hexbear.net avatar

That’s the thing about it, its not very democratic and a person’s vote isn’t worth much by design

WittyProfileName2 ,
@WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net avatar

I was hoping spaceghoti would have some sort of shitty justification for this bullshit.

Y’know some tyranny of the majority crap I could roast 'em over.

Seems they’ve been banned though.
