Because you can’t logic someone out of a position they didn’t logic themselves into. You’re not arguing with facts, you’re arguing with people, and if you argue with stupid people, they’ll drag you down to their level and best you with experience.

So why is having one party better?

So why did the USSR have one?

Can you find any records of USSR politicians criticizing high-level government figures without consequence?

Again, what happened to high-ranking politicians who openly expressed disagreement with the premier and his cabinet?

And what happened when those representatives disagreed with the inner circle?

Because eliminating representatives who might disagree with you is much more democratic than allowing a multiple party system.

So the Bolsheviks weren’t the dominant party that eliminated all the others after they won the Civil War?

And remind me what happened to public figures who spoke against the premier in any way? I’m sure nobody complained because they loved the government so much that they’d never say a bad word about it…

Remind me how many parties they could vote for?

Is there talk within the legislature to repeal the 19th Amendment? I will bet you literally any amount of money that women will be able to vote in 2028.

Women were allowed to vote in the US before anyone was allowed to vote in the USSR.

What’s the name of that new transmission thing that makes cars made after 2020 break down after 5 years?

The fact that life has no inherent meaning is my primary motivator to give it meaning. No one decides what I mean except me, and I say I mean something.

That’s just what your employer wants you to think so you don’t know who’s getting paid unfairly.

And yet the petroleum industry is pushing so hard to brainwash the public to think another Chernobyl is inevitable, even though they can make the very products that can prevent it.

Nuclear is fine, it’s only unsafe when people are idiots. Oh wait, actually scratch that, in that case it’s not safe. /s

The deaths from both the wars going on in the modern day and infectious diseases like COVID are nowhere near on the scale that they were before, especially in terms of the percent of the world population killed by them. We haven’t had deaths on the scale of WWI or the Spanish Flu since those events.

I will never understand people who think they already know everything they need to know.

I am the very model of a modern Capitano.
