Don Lemon: We are going to have to blow up the whole system

Strange I can’t seem to find any videos of Republicans or Conservatives insisting we ‘blow up the system’, pack the court, and end the electoral college.

Kork, stay on DU or r/politics with your insanity, please

Absolutely, because you’re a deranged loon.

You can’t claim our form of government is a democracy and simultaneously call the reasoned and sane people in this country anti-democratic for protecting it

Federalist 51 is a good place to read up on why structuring our country to protect against the tyranny of the majority Is paramount.

Your rambling is the typical broken logic and fake intellectualism mixed with a disdain for your betters that’s common in your ilk.

You wrap your self in a veneer or npr taking points that of course melts away when the slightest amount of fact and reason is thrust upon you.

But don’t worry, you can go hide in your bubble again and npr will tell you how smart you are for agreeing with them.

I am 100% NOT making that up, and you don't know how bad I wish I could give you some names.

Scruffy finds it hilarious how that is the stance of you progressives, but y’all completely ignore the most expensive riots/destruction in US history over the previous 6 months.

Yea, it’s the group of individuals who haven’t destroyed anything that everyone should be worried about.
While I oppose all violence and destruction for any reason, it is understandable how people can be pushed that far.

Do you support the people of Hong Kong?

There are "people" that think aliens have probed them in the arse and think the earth is flat

It is inconsequential

What isnt inconsequential is the amount of people who support democrats that are out and about rioting and burning cities

It's about checks and balances, not about creating a system where the minority can enjoy the majority in government.

The EC was not created to protect against tyranny of the majority. It was part of a compromise on many issues, not the least of which was giving slave-owners power over their slaves' voices. It made their votes count more without granting slaves suffrage or freedom.

It was a compromise made in different times under different circumstances. Funny that you are determined to preserve such a system by twisting old wisdom to suit your argument, yet you seemingly see no value in the greater wisdom of the founders that gave us the power to mold our government with the times.

A bunch of crazy white people in Portland rioting every night for months is understandable?

Seems to me as of the slave-owning compromise portion has been addressed. Why cite that as as reason to scrap the institution that even you admit was effected to address "many issues"?

Hyperbole aside, yes, outbursts from the people are absolutely understandable. It's the foundation of democracy. Is there a single democracy in the world that did not have to be built or preserved with violence?

You can disagree with their premise, beliefs, and methods, but as a human being with even the slightest knowledge of history, you simply must understand that conflict is inevitable when people feel threatened by those in power.

Are you the type who believes all protests are riots? One who thinks that if a fistfight breaks out during a protest, or if some idiot breaks a window, then the whole thing is deemed a "riot"?

Honestly, that's good advice.

Take precautions if you are vulnerable or work with a vulnerable population. Get back to normal if you are not over 50 with a respiratory condition.

It wasn't effected to address the issues, it was a compromise in light of the issues of centuries ago.

Are you saying what happened in Portland, Kenosha, Minneapolis, Chicago, Louisville, Atlanta, and DC weren't riots?

If you are, you are 100% full of shite.
