Political Cartoons & Memes

THIS is why you should have to pass a civics test to be able to vote in this country.

And now there's a current movement to LOWER the voting age to 16, but luckily that failed even in the democrat controlled House yesterday big time.

That is terrifying

Is it not accurate? I know why the US system is set up in this pattern. I also know why the college system is utilised, but it is just a method that is claimed to democracy.
It is a version of the old, 'all animal are ---- but some animals are more equal than others' used to slaughter wholeheartedly the communist system.
All democratic systems are flawed, they are a suitable implementation of systems that allow for choice.
True democracy, would involve a referendum on each and every committee and legal decision, it would be an utter mess, and would result in awful procedure and results for a nation.

I refer to the old Churchill quote.

It's counting Senators in the Legislature (i.e. Congress). Every state has 2 Senators, regardless of size or population. But Congress has 2 houses, the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Representatives in the House per state is apportioned based on the state's population. The person who created the picture is an idiot that needs to take a refresher course on the American government. (a.k.a. 'Civics')

I know how it works.
I am aware of that, and I am aware of how the US version of democracy is setup and how it functions.
At its most base, the pictorial is correct, and could easily be used to mislead people.

I think that's the point. Manipulation to manufacture outrage based on false facts. Civics isn't being taught in schools over here anymore. Why, I don't know, because when we (Me, Lance, Muddy, Porky, and other guys our age) were in school, it was pounded into our heads from day 1 of year 1, and every day of every year following until we graduated from high school. But we have a mess of younger people running around now that don't know the structure of our government, or how it's supposed to work and why, and these people are voters now and they have all of this ridiculous, ignorant garbage floating around in their heads. They're being manipulated through their ignorance and it's scary. A few of these people have made it into government jobs, and they really shouldn't be there. Ocasio-Cortez is an example. It's been clear from day one that she doesn't know anything about the function of our federal government, and to think, there are people that voted for her and are being inspired by her.

Loser used to talk about the coming Idiocracy, and we used to shrug it off, but damn if he wasn't a prophet about this crap. We need to turn this around.

That's not a civics issues necessarily. The radical left wants to eliminate the senate.

They would like to have 2 or 3 states run the entire country.
