    Do you prefer voting for somebody that promises to do what a large diverse group of people want or voting on issues directly?

        The idea is the majority vote for stupid things. The people we vote it are supposed to balance it with intelligence. Just because children want extra candy doesn’t mean they should get the the candy.

          That’s kinda fucked up to say. We’re talking about full grown adults here, not children

            They want free housing, free college, free food, free money. Does that sound like adults or children ?

                I am not sure what your response has to do with what I said. Inflation screwed many people and you can thank Biden for that. He just kept spending money that didn’t need to be spent.

                If you think inflation is bad now, wait till Kamala gets In office.

                Socioeconomic problems are easily solved. I’m not sure why you think the government needs to solve your problem. Thank you for proving my point.

                    Don’t try to lecture anyone on economics if you think Biden saved anything. The economy wasn’t bad until Biden screwed it up.

                    The only person lacking an education is you. No economist has ever stated the things you just said. Why do you think that is?
