Infighting and Delays: Turns Out Baboons Vote Just Like Congress

[Chris]

The controlling minority is the 1% of thieves and traitors. It picks out pet groups to harass and humiliate the majority. Only majoritarianism gives the greatest good to the greatest number. We have the right to determine whether minorities threaten us and don't have to explain ourselves to bullying elitists, whose pretense of a social conscience is a cover for excluding the majority economically.

No one has ever put forth the utilitarian formula for that, kind of hard to measure and aggregate the greatest good for the greatest number.

[Peter1469]

If you say so. But we don't have to accept an 18th Century design forcing our country to become a House of Lords.

You feeling OK, buddy?

No, it's not hard to measure. Just trust the 50+% to be able to decide what is best for them, instead of going on a desperate ego trip by identifying with your Masters who also desperately need to constantly babble to themselves that we are mindless children in order to justify their oligarchy.

If the majority turns out to be wrong on an issue they vote on directly, then at least they will pay for their own mistakes. In a republic, they are forced to pay for the mistakes of pre-owned politicians who, even if it cost them re-election, will be set for life in the private sector.

What the majority decide is not necessarily the greatest good for the greatest number.

So where's your utilitarian formula?

We're not supposed to have a Democracy. Anyway, we have neither a Democracy or a Republic at this point.
