I’ve been voting. Doesn’t seem to work.
It only works in aggregate. Like how a drop of water won't quench anyone's thirst, but a 20 gallon barrel generally will.
This is why I hate group projects
One person puts in all the work
Five people don't
Everyone fails
:) :) :) :) :)
(please kill me)
One thing I learned early in my academic career was that if I wanted a good grade on a group project it was easier to just do everything myself.
The sooner I can fuck off to the middle of nowhere and not deal with any of you anymore the better.
College in a nutshell. Fuck you steve, thanks for phoning in your part of the final.
I thought the system was to dump the barrel out at the top of a hill so you can proclaim how much you're doing for the thirsty person at the bottom.
Trickle down, but for voting too!
Oh, and I guess that's what Trump literally did with the water in California, except they were different hills altogether.
Thats piss in that barrel, not water. We are not a society thats content to just leave everyone else alone if they arent affecting you.
It only works in aggregate.
It just plain does not work. Study: Congress literally doesn’t care what you think
pugjesus, How could I have been so wrong in thinking the issues of the poor and working class are not well represented in congress, and not just the will of the elites! You have changed my mind, our democracy is clearly healthy and my reps care what I think! viva le democracy!
Did you not fucking read the article
I read a lot of the "fucking" article (your words). It attempts to disprove a number of studies at once with flimsy analysis. The conclusion of their line of reasoning is that the will of the people is being represented just fine in congress. Seems false on the face of it to any observer of congress's actions, and the events of the last election. Hence my question. Did YOU read the article.
It attempts to disprove a number of studies at once with flimsy analysis.
... it only rebuts one study, and it does so by citing three others.
So you didn't read the article. Or even skim it.

Lord.
Have you tried the second amendment?
that's that what they call every week, when a mass shooting happens, right?
Boardrooms not classrooms
I cant get behind that idea because the logic doesnt check out.
What good is a small antipersonnel device against tyranny thats so well staffed? Seems to me like suicide. Do you figure your neighbors will join you? Seems doubtful to me.
Is taking someone down with you some sort of comfort? If it comes to it, running for your life seems a significantly better option. What are you fighting for, your country? your housing lot? our "way of life"?
It's mitigation.
Show me the part where it mitigated giving the entire government to nazis
Took longer
Not exactly a ringing endorsement.
“This is super important but will ultimately fail and you’ll have to shoot the Nazis anyway.”
mit·i·ga·tion noun
the action of reducing the severity, seriousness, or painfulness of something.
"the emphasis is on the identification and mitigation of pollution"
Are there not Nazis in charge of our government? How was that at all mitigated and not just delayed?
