Yeah, bob-tel, elect democrats and we'll have a pure as snow utopia and everyone will be whistling zippity doo-dah out their asshole. Right.....

We need a Convention of the States. Limit terms on Congress and on the Supreme Court. Senators chosen by the state legislatures, not by popular vote.
You need to explore the history of why they got rid of Senators being chosen by the state legislatures.

We’ve had this discussion before. He refuses to understand that it proved much easier to buy a seat from a State Legislator than from a voter.

In addition, given the prevalence of gerrymandered state legislators, that’s a good way to elect Republican Senators in majority-Democratic states.

And then there’s the question of what happens when the two houses of the Legislature (in any state but Nebraska) can’t agree on whom to appoint.

But none of this matters to flock. He doesn’t like democracy. He likes it when minorities can impose their will on the country’s majority because he knows his views are destined to remain in the minority, so this is the only chance he’s got to see them enacted. —Bob

Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

I did read it. It’s an article only a third-year law student could write. And not a particularly bright one.

What's your problem with a top-two primary system? All a Republican has to do to get to the general election ballot is make it to second place in the primary. That wouldn't be so hard, except (a) Republicans have spent the last two decades poisoning their brand in the state, and (b) they can't seem to find any Republicans who want to run for statewide office (other than Arnold) who are willing to adopt social and fiscal positions shared by wide majorities of Californians. When that changes, so will their general-election fortunes.

The election for Senator here may actually be competitive, and Republicans may even have a chance to make a difference. The race for Governor is a foregone conclusion. --Bob

The problem with a "top-two" primary system is that it rewards a party that is informally able to limit itself to fewer candidates in a competitive election. My own State Senate district is a great example. In the primary for the special election (the incumbent resigned to run for Congress), two Democrats split roughly 45% of the vote and four Republicans split the remaining 55%. In this case, the election worked to my advantage, but one party shouldn't be "rewarded" for gaming the system.

The Democrats narrowly avoided having that happen to them in a few competitive California districts this year, partly because some candidates dropped out before the primary.

1. Don't talk about the points, impugn the author.
2. Make a blanket statement based on your biased opinion, and include a swipe at me.
3. Next time the subject is brought up, ignore the fact that counter-arguments even exist.

Kavanaugh won't be defeated on his character or intellect, both of which are excellent (in contrast to the guy who nominated him). Unless more Senators oppose him on the issues, he'll be confirmed.

Here's an article written by Kavanaugh's wingman on that date:

https://dailycaller.com/2011/01/27/geor ... tholicism/
only a person in denial still claims that something did not go terribly wrong in the Church after the 1960s, and that more often than not that thing was homosexual priests molesting teenage boys. My own take is that it had less to do with homosexuality than with the feverish libertinism of the 60s.
