>Pennsylvania Rep. Scott Perry earlier this week supported a resolution that would repeal the 17th Amendment and strip American voters of their right to elect U.S. Senators.>Other cosponsors of the resolution include GOP Reps. Eric Burlison (R-Mo.), Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.), Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), Andy Harris (R-Md.), Clay Higgins (R-La.), Sheri Biggs (R-S.C.) and Michael Cloud (R-Texas).Do you think they're right, and we, the people, shouldn't choose our own government?

>>537955741Who the hell is David frum? Is he a professional quote maker? Or is he just enlightened by his own intelligence?
yes. (You), the people, are fucking retarded. Classical democracy isn't stritcly negative but any system that allows slaves, women, and criminals to vote is unhinged in the worst way. There's also a very real incentive to import millions of retards with tax dollars and shuttle them around the country just to secure votes. I'm not registered to a political party and i don't vote because I find it incredibly insulting.
>>537956136Yes. Just let Jewish corporations pick senators.
>>537955741The 17th amendment is an abomination that destroyed checks and balances. Learn basic civics you fucking retard (I’m an American, I’m just on vacation in leafland)
>>537955993>tfw someone asks a question that takes 3 seconds to google
Yeah, they're not scared at all
>>537956177kekwut? i'm not allowing them to do that by not voting. We have democracy right now and they're doing it anyway. I just find the nonstop pandering and lies tiresome
>>537956281True
>>537956177also if the degeneracy was explicitly being forced upon people by the state itself it would almost be better than what we have now because then their pigheaded rebellious nature might actually benefit them.>now presenting, The Gayest Thing You've Ever Seen brought to you by: THE STATE or a 'decentralized' media studio presenting themselves as a third party. When it's the former people will comprehend that they're being told what to think, when it's the latter people eat it up and clap like seals>A HU HU- WE BEAT DA HITLER TUH END DUH SLAVERY A HUHUHU
>>537955741>they will reject democracyI mean. We're a Republic. Conserving the Republic is nessecary to ensure freedom and liberty.These are big words for a dumb dumb such as yourself.These are concepts far beyond your low level order of understanding.I get it.
Yes, people who reject Israel don't deserve rights. It's in the Bible. If people use democracy as a weapon to attack the Jewish people and their right to defend themselves, it should be taken away.If it wasn't for the state of Israel, America would never exist, so think about that next time.
>>537955741it's what the Founders originally wanted
Senators are not supposed to be representatives of the people but of the states. The representatives represent the people, the senate the states. democrats fucked that shit up along with adding the fed and the income tax, consolidating power in the hands of the federal government.
>>537955741>picLol u wish. The opposite would happen
>>537955741we are already there, the repugs have institutionalized election rigging, they can never lose, the Supreme Court will guarantee it
>>537955741Dumbass, we didn't originally elect senators.Senators arent supposed to represent people, they represent states.This isnt a democracy, its a republic.Democracy is rule by the lowest common denominator.Seriously, tell me why democracy is actually good?If we had a system that had no voting but perfectly protected your rights, would that be worse than one where your rights can be taken away because a simple majority of retards thought it was a good idea?Fuck you and fuck democracy.
>>537956177Literally better than letting the idiot masses do it. I would rather be ruled by the educated rich elites than a mass of stupid laborers.Why the fuck should we let somebody spends every day cleaning toilets and smoking weed have a say in tax policy or foreign affairs?The masses need to be managed, not obeyed.
>>537955741Who would pick then, fucking retard?
>>537955741I’ve been taking about repealing this for years. It’s almost as bad as the 19th
>>537955741Also. Despite the fact that the polloi are not fit to vote, you can still vote for your state senators who then appoint the US senators. Framing it as a rights stripping is dishonest
Not my problem. I don't vote. I refuse to participate in a system where my opinion has the same weight as a nigger's.
>>537956136Why would anybody listen to a non-voter about politics? Fuck off
>>537956177Yeah that’s what they’re doing now with the 17th, running nationwide super pac campaigns to get senators elected. Remove the 17th and the state senate appoints the US senators.
>>537961091The state senate, you fucking retard
Congress had become two lower chambers long before the 17th Amendment made it official.Repealing the 17th isn't going to magically turn Senators from politicians back into statesmen.
>>537955741RIGHT WING BASICShttp://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1pi20Rr9_BxBbMIfcZUTTGslfZTifEiCmgoogle drive easy to use interface...repubs need to get a clue and start pushing TRUMPS agenda
>>537955741As long as they truly believe:1. The system is corrupted to the point it cannot save itself internally in a reasonable timeframe (it is)2. They can realistically hold out long enough to gain independence or revolution (unlikely in mainland USA, movement isn't nearly popular enough YET)Until that time, resistance should be in more nonmilitant or covert forms within the system as preparation.
>>537955741And democrats will just lower the voting age, allow immigrants to vote and allow voting without id, wait...caring about left vs right is for <100 iq
