If there is going to be squabbles about voting, abolish it, and bring in an absolute monarchy.

But that didn't seem to be what @Pringles was saying. He seemed to support the bill, and call new voting methods, "tyranny of the majority," as ridicule the actions of the legislators who left the State to avoid a quorum being forced as, "like in House of Cards." That was the impression I got, and obviously so did @vcczar by his responses to @Pringles.

I haven't paid much attention to this thread, but I don't *think* that's what he was saying.

Wait a minute. What?

"I'd need to see more specifics of the bill but if the generalization (which I happen to agree with) of this voting law is truly restrictive like other bills that have been going around GOP states... sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. I don't hold dirty political plays against either party. I firmly believe in preventing the tyranny of a majority. This happens to be a potential case of that."

Here's a translation.

I haven't read the specifics of this bill that the GOP in Texas is pushing, but if it is restrictive from what I've heard, just like the other bills going around in GOP lead states, I do not support it. As it is tyranny of the majority. 

I said it was crazy stuff because IT IS like what happened in House of Cards.

Idk wtf you are talking about man. This is why I don't respond to you 95% of the time. But don't try and say I'm an undemocratic prick like those lawmakers in Texas are.

I believe @Patine he means the Democrats in the bold, not the GOP. That is probably the root of the problem.

“Hmmm Pringles, you claim to be pro-democracy but when I misread your statements it turns out you are ANTI-democracy. Curious.”

That would be about as much of a national embaressment and shame to the US as "Emperor," Bokassa I (and last) was to the CAR.

Not Emperor Trump 🤢🤢🤢🤢

He was always a weakling anyways.... 😈

Cheney still rules America

Fun fact: The name "Donald" literally can mean "ruler of the world."

Coincidence? I think not!

He's more like the evil Cardinal Richelieu - a powerful background figure, but too cowardly - and hated - to take full power himself.

Im genuinely curious Mr. Patine. 

Who would you say the Dick Cheney equivalent is over in Canada? If there are any that is.
