DaemonFC[m]I don't really like Biden. I just know where this is heading with Trump and I don't know what will happen with Biden exactly.Sep 17 00:41
DaemonFC[m]In this case, I'd rather have uncertainty than know for sure what continues to happen to immigrants and stuff with 4 more years of Trump.Sep 17 00:41
DaemonFC[m]A stupid wall that comes out of whatever funds Trump raids (what will it be next?).Sep 17 00:42
DaemonFC[m]Mass sterilizations in ICE detention centers.Sep 17 00:42
DaemonFC[m]A rogue immigration agency that keeps coming up with more fees and nastier policies.Sep 17 00:42
DaemonFC[m]We know this keeps getting worse under Trump. Some of it might get rolled back under Biden.Sep 17 00:43
DaemonFC[m]As much as I despise the rioters and looting considering that I live in the middle of it, literally (Chicago and Kenosha), I'm more horrified by nameless police officers in military fatigues coming out under Trump's control.Sep 17 00:44
DaemonFC[m]If anything, I'd welcome the actual National Guard for a while if it was Governor Pritzker in control of it.Sep 17 00:44
DaemonFC[m]The federal government should never be local law enforcement, ever. Sep 17 00:44
DaemonFC[m]The low Fed rates are probably here to stay for a long time, but they have an idea that Trump's appointees will never approve. Anti-recession bonds that would kick in and pay Americans directly if a recession happens.Sep 17 00:45
DaemonFC[m]Temporary UBI that Congress has no control over. It just happens.Sep 17 00:46
DaemonFC[m]I think that's an idea that Biden might put people at the Fed who will implement.Sep 17 00:46
DaemonFC[m]I could probably vote for Howie Hawkins if I wanted to. I'm in Illinois, and Trump isn't going to win here, but the fact is I just don't like Howie Hawkins or Jill Stein.Sep 17 00:48
DaemonFC[m]Not only can they not win, they have ties to the Russians and the Republican Party.Sep 17 00:49
DaemonFC[m]I vote for Libertarians and Greens downballot sometimes if there's no Republican running.Sep 17 00:49
DaemonFC[m]In Indiana one year, there was no Democrat challenging Richard Lugar for the US Senate seat.Sep 17 00:50
DaemonFC[m]I think the Libertarian candidate got 18% of the vote.Sep 17 00:50
DaemonFC[m]That  shows you there's a lot of people out there who would vote for the Libertarian Party if it was a two way election and they were the other candidate. Sep 17 00:50
DaemonFC[m]But when you throw in a Republican and a Democrat, then the Libertarian gets maybe 1% of the vote.Sep 17 00:50
DaemonFC[m]Most people aren't willing to throw the election to the side that will be furthest from what they want purely to "Make a statement." that literally  nobody flipping cares about. Sep 17 00:51
DaemonFC[m]If anything, people like me are even more pissed off at the Green Party because Hillary Clinton wouldn't have been ripping women's ovaries out and trying to deport all the legal immigrants.Sep 17 00:52
DaemonFC[m]So again, fuck the Green Party.Sep 17 00:52
DaemonFC[m]So far, only one state has instant runoff voting in federal elections.Sep 17 00:53
XRevan86DaemonFC[m]: That's just how FPTP voting dooms people to vote "strategically". It's a rigged system that happily gives the wheel to the minority vote.Sep 17 00:53
DaemonFC[m]That's Maine and it only has 4 electoral votes. Sep 17 00:53
DaemonFC[m]I'm madder than hell about Trump. Madder than I've ever been about any president doing anything, honestly.Sep 17 00:54
XRevan86And so the voters have to try to predict what candidate closer to their liking will be picked up by the others.Sep 17 00:55
DaemonFC[m]In 2004 when I voted for John Kerry and he didn't win, I at least accepted that that was the system. I didn't like the wars or anything, but Bush didn't make the domestic situation unlivable.Sep 17 00:55
DaemonFC[m]Trump's policies have made it extremely unpleasant to live in the US. I mean, understatement, right?Sep 17 00:56
DaemonFC[m]500,000 people risk eviction immediately.Sep 17 00:56
XRevan86I'm very annoyed by this basic thing, because, for some bloody reason, these kinds of "democratic elections" keep happening while obviously punishing democratic principles.Sep 17 00:56
XRevan86Another reason why I rant about this is to make peace with that picking the lesser evil is fundamentally flawed, unfair and undemocratic. The system is working exactly as intended, that is the choice every time, and there's nothing an individual voter can do about it except getting better at predicting the outcome.Sep 17 01:01

XRevan86Electing a third candidate on a larger scale than a local community is such a hard task it requires something close to a national uprising.Sep 17 01:04

XRevan86That's not literally impossible but requires cooperation of the people on a massive scale, like when protests make regimes go away.Sep 17 01:06
XRevan86Because if there's a successful awareness campaign then everyone will know that everyone will try the third candidate, and it will become the second candidate just from that.Sep 17 01:07
Chaekyungkind of hard to see your perspective at all XRevan86 Sep 17 01:08
ChaekyungWhat if there were 5 or 10 equal candidates, not just one?Sep 17 01:09
ChaekyungEuropean countris do not have a to-faced one-party system like the USSep 17 01:09
Chaekyunggovernments are usually made up of coolitions of 3-4 parties because none of them get more than like 20-30% on their ownSep 17 01:10
ChaekyungYou can have elections with 20 parties no problemSep 17 01:10
XRevan86Chaekyung: I mean elections when one person gets elected based on their percentages compared to the other candidates individuallySep 17 01:11
XRevan86Parliament elections have other tricks, but I only know of one that the Russian State Duma has.Sep 17 01:12
kingoffrancefor another possibilitily, theres a variant can be added to most types of things, where if "none of the above" wins you start over with new candidatesSep 17 01:12
kingoffrancethat has potential to drag out i guess...Sep 17 01:12
kingoffrancei could also see that being used to keep someone past their term maybe...Sep 17 01:13
kingoffranceso it does have other issuesSep 17 01:13

schestowitz__yesSep 17 01:15
XRevan86In fact, it can worsen the effect by having more of an appeal.Sep 17 01:15
ChaekyungThen you get why I see the US system as very strangeSep 17 01:16

ChaekyungThe Prime Minister can talk, and that's about it. Want something actually put into law? Go through the very long process like anyone elseSep 17 01:19
XRevan86I guess that's something a monarch can do I supposeSep 17 01:19

kingoffranceemperor > monarch i believeSep 17 01:29
kingoffranceking has kingdoms, emperor has empire(s) ?Sep 17 01:29
XRevan86kingoffrance: I don't think there's a proper distinction.Sep 17 01:30
kingoffranceyeah, i believe this has been disputed as well over the centuriesSep 17 01:30
XRevan86And an emperor is a monarch. I thought you wrote "king".Sep 17 01:30
kingoffranceamongst kings and emperors i meanSep 17 01:30
kingoffrance"sure you run the empire, i run my little area"Sep 17 01:31
kingoffrancelocal perogative as it wereSep 17 01:31
kingoffrancethey might claim allegiance while still having "veto" in a senseSep 17 01:31
XRevan86local perogative – dukes and stuffSep 17 01:31
kingoffrancethat tooSep 17 01:32
kingoffrancelayers of "localities"Sep 17 01:32
kingoffranceor particular areas of law outside of physical locationsSep 17 01:32
kingoffranceor across themSep 17 01:32
XRevan86I guess there can be a monarch/king of a non-sovereign state under an emperor.Sep 17 01:33
kingoffrancelolSep 17 01:33
kingoffrance"i am the state"Sep 17 01:33
XRevan86a vassal king, so to speakSep 17 01:33
kingoffranceyesSep 17 01:33
kingoffrancetheoretically america said "we are the state"Sep 17 01:33
kingoffranceso this did not end, was extendedSep 17 01:34
kingoffranceor jointSep 17 01:34
kingoffrancewhich is why executive orders get interesting, supposedly they are not law but have "force of law"Sep 17 01:34
XRevan86But still even when the UK was a proper empire, it wasn't ruled by an emperor or empress.Sep 17 01:34
kingoffrancebut if them, or legislature, does something "unconstitutional" ...until it gets to a "supreme court" (state, maybe feds too) ...your only recourse is "act as though it did not exist"Sep 17 01:34
kingoffranceso in a sense you get people doing their own "executive orders" based on "conscience" until a court decides what goes, and even then...Sep 17 01:35
XRevan86so there still isn't a proper distinction, except that a non-sovereign emperor is just nonsense.Sep 17 01:35
kingoffrancei am speaking metaphorically of course, but effect-wise i dont think thats a stretchSep 17 01:35
MinceR"i am the senate!"Sep 17 01:37
kingoffranceyepSep 17 01:37
XRevan86When Peter I of Russia decided that he isn't just tsar but an emperor, it was literally just a semantic change.Sep 17 01:38
XRevan86Russia is an empire now. Why? I like the branding.Sep 17 01:39
kingoffranceyeah, dict says caesar implies emperor, but i believe thers different kinds of caesars too, or multiple potential powers Sep 17 01:39
XRevan86kingoffrance: Yet the perception is that tsar == kingSep 17 01:39
kingoffranceyou can always just king of kings [...] or emperor of emperors [...] and recurseSep 17 01:39
kingoffrancelike an exponent perhapsSep 17 01:40
kingoffranceking^3Sep 17 01:40
XRevan86An emperor of emperors is not a saying I'd take seriously.Sep 17 01:41
MinceRa god-emperor of gods, then?Sep 17 01:42
kingoffranceyou arent wrong MinceR Sep 17 01:43
XRevan86The Great Duke, the first duke of equals.Sep 17 01:43
MinceR:>Sep 17 01:44
kingoffrancei would say strictly speaking executive orders could never be law only equity (compelled performance)Sep 17 01:48
kingoffranceit gets into positive law i guess and whether "the state" can be a victim, or "the community" etc.Sep 17 01:48
kingoffrancebut equity i guess you could say has "force of law"Sep 17 01:49
kingoffranceif a court orders someone to do or refrain from doing something, i believe  that is not law but "force of law"Sep 17 01:49
XRevan86> Both emperors and kings are monarchs, but emperor and empress are considered the higher monarchical titles. Inasmuch as there is a strict definition of emperor, it is that an emperor has no relations implying the superiority of any other ruler and typically rules over more than one nation. Therefore a king might be obliged to pay tribute to another ruler,[4] or be restrained in his actions in some uSep 17 01:50
XRevan86nequal fashion, but an emperor should in theory be completely free of such restraints. However, monarchs heading empires have not always used the title in all contexts—the British sovereign did not assume the title Empress of the British Empire even during the incorporation of India, though she was declared Empress of India.Sep 17 01:50
kingoffrancethis of course would be applied to particular people, not broadly across a swarthSep 17 01:50
kingoffranceand for particular casesSep 17 01:50
XRevan86From Wikipedia on "Emperor".Sep 17 01:50
kingoffranceso my suspicion tells me they are right to call it "force of law" they just conveniently refrain from saying "its equity"Sep 17 01:51
XRevan86So that should explain why "emperor of emperors" is nonsensical.Sep 17 01:51
kingoffrancemakes sense, its supposed to be the top-most -- head -- capital -- supremeSep 17 01:51
*mmu_man has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)Sep 17 01:51
XRevan86Now "gods" is a funny one, and sometimes the word is even used for what I'd normally call a mythical creature or spirit.Sep 17 01:52
XRevan86As "lesser gods"Sep 17 01:52
XRevan86So that word in no way implies supremacy, therefore a god of gods can be a thing.Sep 17 01:53
MinceRyeah, i forgot "overgod" :>Sep 17 01:53
kingoffrancein that sense, or equity, i would say executive orders are not taking over legislature per se (see following) -- but hijacking of judiciary.  maybe a bit of both -- compelled performance.  you could say judge-made law is "common law" too.    except this case the "judge" + executor + legislature   is the president.    point being, i would say it is hijacking of judicial + possibly legislature tooSep 17 01:55
kingoffranceor at least, is hijacking of judicial just as much as legislatureSep 17 01:55
kingoffrancesince equity normally is for particular cases, and done by a judge -- not legislatureSep 17 01:56
kingoffrancethe lines are blurry of courseSep 17 01:56
kingoffranceits like broadly-applied equity IMOSep 17 01:56
kingoffrancea non-sequitor in a waySep 17 01:56
XRevan86I wonder why executive orders are a thing, seem to be standard practice in republics. Can't really judge by Russia as it's a super-presidential republic (and anyway Putin doesn't need executive orders anyway, anymore at least).Sep 17 01:57

kingoffranceof course, the 4th is perhaps variant of the 3rd, "daemon"Sep 17 02:12
*kingoffrance ducks and coversSep 17 02:13
*XRevan86 failed to understand the point.Sep 17 02:14
kingoffrancearity seems to swing back and forthSep 17 02:14
kingoffrancepeople seem to get caught up in "novelty" but form this POV, its merely changing of who has particular powers, pre-existingSep 17 02:17
kingoffrance*fromSep 17 02:17
kingoffrancethus, from this POV, there is nothing new -- just new arrangementsSep 17 02:17
kingoffrancewell IMO it is a blind spot of americans, they will say exec. orders are bad because they "didnt want a king" (ignoring the fact they wanted joint kinghood distributed, who then delegate outwards)Sep 17 02:31
kingoffrancehalf-truth -- they wanted multiple kings (a non-sequitor to the prior system)Sep 17 02:31
kingoffranceand now with the new arrangement, single king is a non-sequitorSep 17 02:32

DaemonFC[m]"failed to fill out the witness information"Sep 17 20:33
DaemonFC[m]If it says "Witness has to sign here." you don't leave it blank.Sep 17 20:33
DaemonFC[m]They're acting like ability to follow simple instructions is a high bar to voting or something.Sep 17 20:34
DaemonFC[m]The reason I tend not to make mistakes on official forms is because I make sure I understand the rules before I start filling it out.Sep 17 20:36
DaemonFC[m]In Illinois, it's not really that hard to fill out a mail in ballot. When it says pick one, you pick one (or leave the section blank if you don't want to vote for that office), if it says pick 2 or 3, you can vote for up to 2 or 3 or however many it says. You sign and date it, you put it in the inner envelope, sign the back of that envelope and seal it, and put it in the outer envelope to mail it.Sep 17 20:38
DaemonFC[m]You have to wonder who can't understand this and how the hell they're even alive.Sep 17 20:38
DaemonFC[m]I heard someone complain that Ohio is making people put a stamp on the return envelope.Sep 17 20:40
DaemonFC[m]Illinois does that too.Sep 17 20:40
DaemonFC[m]They said "People in their 20s might not understand that mail needs a stamp.".Sep 17 20:40
DaemonFC[m]The outer envelope says "Place First Class Stamp here".Sep 17 20:40
DaemonFC[m]"Black people may not understand what sign here means. Young people may not  know what a stamp is.".Sep 17 20:42
DaemonFC[m]Sounds condescending to me.Sep 17 20:43
DaemonFC[m]Almost racist too.Sep 17 20:43
Ariadnethe democrats are racist in a different waySep 17 21:19
Ariadnethey assume blacks are helpless and that the democratic party is there to save the daySep 17 21:19
DaemonFC[m]Illinois is only putting first class postage on ballots this year because it was a way to spend federal election money from the CARES Act.Sep 17 21:26
DaemonFC[m]Pritzker is trying to pass a graduated income tax system and the rich are panicking because instead of the 4.95% flat rate, they may end up in brackets that go all the way up to 7.99%.Sep 17 21:26
DaemonFC[m]It's not really going to affect them much, but they don't like paying taxes. Shoving the state's expenses on those who can least afford it is a game to them.Sep 17 21:27
DaemonFC[m]Basically making poor people pay to fund the police who beat and kill them.Sep 17 21:27
DaemonFC[m]I think the graduated tax rate is really an "Okay, you want it? You pay for it!" opportunity. The police really hate responding to calls from poor neighborhoods. Like, they don't even care when kids are being molested. It's just another day another dollar to them. schestowitz got FOIA stuff from the Rick Jones case and the wording of the detective proves that.Sep 17 21:29

DaemonFC[m]"The Illinois State Police agree FOID applications should be processed quickly and within the statutory guidelines.
