Polls: Society & Politics

Yes, diluted. It is not very concentrated. Meaning that contrary to what democracy is suppose to mean, that is to say ruling by the people, the people do not have much say on how their country is ruled! They vote once every 5 or so many years and then the ruling is in the hands of a bunch of people called government who are suppose to reflect the will of the people. I doubt it. Sure some things are delivered as promised, but that is not enough to make for a real democracy. It is like putting a teaspoon of coffee in a pitcher full of hot water, and argue that the pitcher is coffee. It is technically coffee, but very dilute and you can barley taste the coffee.

It is my view that for a country to be considered truly democratic (a true cup of coffee :p) the government should not be allowed to make decisions on projects that cost beyond a certain amount of money, and the government will not be able to make decisions on certain aspects of society. These projects and certain other decisions outside the competence of the government will call for a referendum. Only then a country will be a real democracy.

after ww2 the Americans essentially stole 1500 top German scientists. you know, the ones that invented the jet, the missile, atomic theory. if I was a German I'd be hopping mad. Germany should've been the one to go to the moon, and honestly, they probably would've made it to Mars 30 years ago if they won WW2.

It's ludicrous some bumbling old fool can send young men out into battlefields to get maimed and killed while he sits in safety. in WW1 the King of Belgium was on the battlefield, because that's what being the leader is about

Pick one from the poll please:

Seems simple but apparently a billionaire who went down this path himself is this stupid.

Suspiciously the number 1 initiative of every major political party is mass immigration. Even the EU wants to include as many poor nations as possible in their little made up union based on nothing because they have a rule where anyone in the union can work anywhere they want in the union

Funny when extremism meets reality. Again... reminds me of 1930s Germany. "All jews are bad!" "Ehh I know a few good jews."

I fail to see what he accomished. Except diminish America's standing in the world.

Married women are more likely to lean conservative. But does having children (married or not) impact a woman’s political beliefs?

I’ve had the displeasure of encountering a few childless middle aged cat ladies. 9 out 10 times they are far FAR left. What JD Vance said about them “wanting others to be miserable because their miserable” is very true. And if they had abortions earlier in their lives they often secretly regretting it.

Anyway I saw this comical post about never dating a single mother. It’s true there are a lot of pitfalls with that. But one thing is for certain: she choose to keep their child. I do respect that.

So just thinking for all the guys out there. Is it fair guys out women (over 30) in a damned if you do vs damned if you don’t scenario? Like a both sides are undesirable? I’m oddly beginning to believe single mothers might have a better head on their shoulders compared to single cat ladies over 30. The latter is usually extremely far left which is becoming increasingly insufferable.

NOTE: I no longer use the phrase “liberal” disparagingly. Instead I use the term “leftist”. They are not the same thing. A liberal is somebody who truly wants individual freedom. Think of a typical 1960s hippie (not a radical activist) when it comes the phrase “liberal”.

A leftist wants to use the power of the government to censor people and force redistribution. And there are a lot of “leftist” modern women today. They want communism.

Politics are complicated and often frustrating. In a standard political system (i. e. not a cult), one can't say everything he wants to say all the time without suffering the consequences. Hence, it's not exactly surprising that Trudeau can't and won't tell VP Trump and president-elect Musk to just shut the fuck up and die in disgrace like the losers that they both are.

Unfortunately, he has to deal with these insane morons in the way that he thinks will hurt Canada the least. So, right now, unfortunately, Trudeau has to be Trump's b*tch. He's the one holding the gun, telling the whole room what to do.

However, it has to be brought back to mind and noted that Melania wasn't exactly immune to Justin Trudeau's charm when they met back in 2019 at the G7 summit in Biarritz (France).

Trump just stood there like the chump that he is while Melania drooled over a better looking and younger man who is probably at least of average size and, more importantly, still able to get it up.

Trump was humiliated, and not for the last time.

Do you think that Justin Trudeau should arrange a meeting with Melania behind Trump's back and see if she'd be up for some action?

After all, he's single and it has probably been a long time for her...
