Electing judges is dumb as fuck.

You would rather trust our politicians to appoint them? Ha ha ha.

“Nothing can be done to solve this, says only nation where this regularly happens”

Levearging an onion article doesn’t make your argument here. I mean I could accuse the homosexual industrial complex that eisenhower warned us about, what with their pernicious influence, in referencing another onion article, but it doesn’t quite fit does it? That’s a satire article, a joke, so don’t pretend to get offended under false pretense.

Electing our judges and politicians gives us a chance to take them back, giving that power to politicians and their appointees is surrendering it. We are so far passed where we can trust the system. So far.

The fact it’s satire doesn’t make it untrue, and we have plenty of statistics to back it up, but it seems the only thing Americans like more than complaining about their broken system is insisting that any change at all would make it worse.

Are you arguing that surrendering the appointment of judges and prosecutors to politicians and their appointees would lead to better outcomes in the United States?

i can’t tell if you’re arguing against chevron or regulatory capture. regulatory capture = bad, right? chevron (short bad summary: appointed agencies have expert opinions because they’re staffed by experts, so treat them as expert) = good, if the agency isn’t captured by the industry it’s trying to regulate, right? are we at the same starting point and assumptions or are you coming from somewhere else?

I was under the impression we are arguing about the wisdom of changing the system in America where we elect judges and prosecutors, which was instituted in the mid 19th century, to one where politicians and their appointees simply appoint them as is done in most of the world. I am virulently arguing that allowing our politicians and establishment to appoint judges and prosecutors would lead vastly worse outcomes.

That the rot in our institutions has spread throughout, and even if you think it works in another country well, it won’t here.

Really it is laughable to think it would be better, despite your hundreds of supporters on here. Ha, hahaha. People are fucking stupid. No offense.

“Nothing can be done to change this, says only nation where this regularly happens”

How does that relate to the subject at hand? Are you a real person? I made a real argument, respond to the point, or maybe you wouldn’t feel more comfortable on fucking twitter.

By using the same onion quite I used several comments earlier, I am both pointing out the circular nature the discussion has taken on, and strengthened my point since your current phrasing sounds even more similar to the idea that Americans uniquely insist that they are unable to change anything, even though other countries have changed in exactly those ways. You insist that you’re special snowflakes different from everyone else, rather than thinking further about whether starting to fix some of these issues will slowly help to fix all of them.
