why do you hate suburbs so much

Wait, do you want me to actually have a serious conversation about this?

[Kalahari Inkantation]

do you have a better solution?

I don't know, we could try voting for people based on merit rather than being lazy ignorant fuckwits and voting based on which of the equally useless and equally destructive parties a candidate supports.

If the government defaults does it mean everything becomes worthless and there is no more USA.

Possibly. It means that the government would have to give up whatever it has to when it defaults. I'm guessing they would lose land or something.

I can't wait for that day

I would be interested hearing your reasoning

[Thyme]

suburbs def suck idk what kind of reasoning you're looking for

[Kalahari Inkantation]

I can't wait for that day 

As depressing a state as this country is currently in, I'd rather not have it fail.  It can be fixed if people are willing to give it an opportunity to be fixed.

I can't wait for that day 

probably won't happen

then why is it still allowed to exist

Because the other parties don't get enough votes

then why is it still allowed to exist

Because we're goddamned lazy and/or don't think it's worth trying to support other parties

In some cases it's seen as a harmful idea, with third parties "siphoning" votes off of major ones

The democratic+ republican parties raise the amount of signatures needed for a 3rd party to get on the ballet, it is some extreme amount that it costs too much for most parties to get on the ballet.  Democrats and republicans don't need to get signatures because they had enough votes from the previous election to get on for free.

Because the other parties don't get enough votes

that's not even the problem

we could have ten major parties and that still wouldn't solve anything

the problem is we like things to be easy so we vote democrat because we've always voted democrat or vote republican because we've always voted republican

It's so easy when things are black and white

[Nyerp]

my solution: just don't vote lol

Again, that's because they see voting for smaller "fringe" parties as harmful to their cause and helpful to their political opponents.

my solution: just don't vote lol

my solution: ralph nader 2012
