I lost my registration a couple moves ago, and just haven't been willing to put the effort in.


Funny, because once upon a time I voted for everything.

Really? Never noticed. :zoinks:

 :LMAO:


Laugh it up, but this 'joke' fails to be accurate.


Most people VOTED back then.

Oh, it's 1000% accurate. you were the one putting up the slightest minutia for a vote.

Putting something up for a vote is different from voting. And that's the point I was making.


I didn't expect you to be so dense.

I'm not American but here is what I see.
Conservatives - out of touch, anti-everything. Closeted in their time warped reality of how life used to be. Fox News...fail.
Liberals - Completely out of control. Not content with being open to progressive (and necessary realities - such as gay marriage, religious tolerance and so forth) they start political correctness and tone policing and double down on allowing the Social Justice warriors to lead them into pitiful capitulations to the restrictive, exclusionary, passive-aggressive attacks on everyone and everything. Fail.
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

I was about to comment on your deadlock situation, pointing out the inherent weaknesses in your system, but then came to think about Sweden's current situation and decided to shut up. :P

I'd say that the conservatives are in touch, given how much they won. I think your analysis neglects that both the Republicans and the Democrats are very smart and well-funded, but market themselves to different groups of people. The Republicans sold themselves very well to the portion of the population who see Obama's policies as the creeping encroachment of socialism on the lives of people who just want to be left alone by the government. The Democrats held onto most of their gerrymandered seats, but tend to appeal to women and minority voters (hence the SJW rhetoric). If anyone miscalculated, the Democrats did.

There are other parties to vote for, if you don't want to vote for the major two.

Complaints and criticism.  That is why a monarchy is best.
A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

My brain is both uninhibited and uninhabited.

It's possible to have a monarchy with complaining, like Great Britain. :orly:

The British politely offer suggestions, they do not complain.

Not in Kalifornia Peoples Republik, we had 2 candidates for most offices with NO write-in line.   :grrr:

We have the worst parliamentary deadlock in years now.

The British complain about the EU, Ireland, France, taxes, immigrants, cold tea, cold food, cold weather, etc. :GA: They just don't do it while sober. :trollface:

That's one problem with parliamentary systems: they require a government to be formed by parties working together to form a majority. No one expects the Democrats and the Republicans to work together, unless they're passing tax breaks for the rich. :zoinks:

Until you've reached sequestering, you haven't reached the level of professional American deadlocking. :GA: :trollface:
