I'm getting tired of being told to leave my own country by dorks who don't understand even the most basic foundational tenets of our Republic. When they are defeated, I won't be telling dumbasses like this to leave—only to resume practicing their religion separately from gov't.

People like this fundamentally do not understand what a city is. New York is the people who live in it, not the dollar value of the land it sits on.

"The secret exchange of massive sums of untraceable, anonymous money is the same as a lawn sign" is an opinion so stupid I almost admire it.

If I understand the current right-wing position correctly, it's this: "illegal immigration is such a problem that we should give up all our civil liberties to deal with it." And like, sorry, but if you believe that, you're cattle.

Periodic reminder that a great many people on this website have absolutely no fucking idea what they're talking about. Almost every single line of "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" is an indictment of the narcotizing power of American media.

That the online nazis in my country want so desperately to live in an advertisement is pure poetry. They are soulless in a way that is uniquely American.

These guys can't get around the fundamental math here, which is that they are defending a system in which some Americans are afforded dramatically more representation in their government than others—simply because of where they live. We revolted against England for far less.

The citizens of Wyoming are free to get together with the citizens of Texas, and Alabama, and other citizens from within California for that matter—and vote however they choose. But the principle that their votes ought to count for more than anyone else's is plainly immoral.

You are dunking on a magazine that I do not work for instead of addressing the substance of my argument. Your little tie does not make you a serious man.

another midwit one-shotted by some middle-school civics slop he does not understand. In a popular vote election, large states would not be “favored,” because states would no longer be voting as blocs. Each individual American would vote independently of the other 330 million.
