I don't think you're calm enough to have a rational discussion about all the untruths you just stated.

US politics was intentionally designed such that the majority doesn't get its way. It's the single major innovation in liberal political philosophy in the past 500 years.

Saying "it's not democratic!" isn't a useful comment.

We know.

It's actually spelled "gerrymandering".

You might have learned that by now if you weren't so busy spreading dumb conspiracy theories on the internet.

Okay, but the same can be said for Media Matters, Sean Hannity, Rachel Maddow, and so on.

They're all doing shady shit, but sometimes one of them hits on something useful.

This doesn't mean anything.

Which ethics? Which morals? Yours?

They're activists, but sometimes activists stumble on the truth too.

There are existing answers to these questions. It's not a grand mystery.

Instead of merely repeating the questions, you should explain why the answers to those questions are wrong.

I think you're overly consumed with the political dramas of the present and haven't really thought through questions about what a good system of governance looks like.

I honestly don't really think you've thought this out.

You might want to understand the existing structure of government before you propose replacing it on a whim.

Here are some questions to get you started:

* Why is there a Constitution?

* Why are there 3 co-equal branches of government? What are they all there for?

* Why is there an electoral college?

* Why are Senators allocated by state while House members are allocated by population?

* Why do House members have 2 year terms and Senators have 6 year terms?

* Why do the courts exist?

* Why does the executive branch exist?

Given the track record of social interventions, what if this backfires?

Why is pure democracy a good thing in and of itself?
