    The guy you responded to is on the far left economically. Think the polar opposite of libertarian, who thinks there are no redeeming qualities of our current economic systems, and rather than fixing things incrementally, if we instead massively overhaul the system, we will surely have a much better economic picture.

    Not sure what he believes about democracy, but I’m guessing he also objects to that as well. In other words, hardly with the time of day.

      This is the most illiterate, brain-dead take of what I’ve been saying. Yea, I hate democracy because I want us to vote for the parties which align with our beliefs and I think that the party which canned any hope of voting reform, specifically because it would mean they would start losing if we got to really choose, is a party of liars that we shouldn’t support. Ya know, because they were told the only way to win was to steal elections and they values winning more than democracy. And I’M the one who hates democracy? Get so bent, coward.

      The Liberals a) are going more right over time so that’s hardly fixing anything at any pace and b) we do not have 200+ years for things to slowly get better when we have the scientific community screaming and begging us to do the right thing today. We don’t have time for broken promises and feel-good speeches made by those whose actions do not support the words they’re saying.
