Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
I’d love if politicians were all independent and solely accountable to their constituents. I don’t think there’s any real possibility that will ever happen because of the financial requirements to run for office. Proportional representation and campaign finance reform are about as close as I think we can even get (even then, it’s a struggle as seen here).
I think the most spineless part of it is that it’s a system that punishes people and their careers if they don’t show unwavering dedication to party lines. Kind of like a cult?
We're seeing that in nearly every facet of society. Don't 100% agree with someone and you are cast out as a Nazi, racist, communist, snowflake etc. Today, SJW's are attempting to cancel their queen, JK Rowling, because she isn't intersectional enough and is now considered a TERF. Never ends.

That’s pretty spineless to come out and say you would if it was anonymous. That’s not how it works.
Right? Politicians clamor for votes begging their constituents to trust them, then won't stand behind their name. No personal or professional accountability. Politics on this continent have become completely pathetic.
Not to cross another popular thread on this board but this (US as the quintessential champion of democracy) is precisely why I don't think democracy is the answer and be all. It's like red pill (sickening truth) or blue pill (blissful ignorance) ...

Meanwhile the same blue checks on Twitter celebrate, lacking the realization that two thirds of the Republican Senate will need to vote in favor before he's actually gone.
Good thing the US isn't a true democracy.

Do you even know anything about Tulsi Gabard?

Democrats try to be centrist as possible, and it often backfires (look at Hilary, and look at what WILL happen if they nominate Biden). Tulsi is like the first centrist that actually makes sense. But the Dems don't like her because she's anti-war, so everything you think you know about her is bad.
Clearly you are just spewing whatever the alt-right sites you visit tell you to.
Nope. I find it much more reliable to just pay attention to whoever the lamestream media is smearing

These neolibs have no problem protecting their swamp buddies.
Even when the result is hundreds of thousands killed under false pretenses.

I have no idea but she is getting money from RSS supporters. For the last 6 days, there have been massive protests and riots in India over an anti-Muslim immigration bill. The RSS is anti-Muslim and got modi into power.

The Indian police were caught breaking storefronts, parked vehicles, etc, and setting fires, then blaming the violence on protesters... Thing is they wreaked havoc in uniform
Yeah what's happening in India is brutal. They are apparently putting Muslims into camps as well.
My question is, is Gabbard supported directly by the RSS, or by rich Hindu-Americans who are also creepy nationalists (or worse, direct RSS members or supporters)? Maybe they are supporting her because she's the first Hindu congresswoman, and would be the first Hindu president. So while she may not agree with what they're doing, they accept her as "close enough" and a good thing for their goals of Hindu nationalism.
