Maybe just skipping ahead a few steps before getting pulled into a debate about the US government, do you agree with the concept of representative democracy involving different branches with checks and balances being a philosophically strong foundation for governance?
anybody with half a brain and a minimum of intellectual honesty knows and admit that 'representative democracy' is a criminal joke and that 'checks and balances' is infinitely idiocy and propaganda. you have to be infinitely stupid or dishonest to pretend that GOVERNMENT is going to CHECK ITSELF.
checks and balances
you can divide the MAFIA in as many 'branches' as you want. You still get the MAFIA, a criminal organization that only works for its own criminal interests.
I'm not eager to get into a conversation where you end up saying "But democracy sucks, war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength."
then get lost, asshole.
