“Cancelling plans is like heroin.” -John Mulaney

It’s also not barely any.

Almost 40% of US Congresspeople law degrees and many more were police commissioners, comptrollers, court clerks, and more.

So why is having one party better?

So why did the USSR have one?

Kinda yeah. Most politicians in the US started out as lawyers or working in some other capacity in the justice system.

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?

What evidence does this person have that Harris slept with anyone to advance her career?

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.

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.

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