Democrat proposes suspending Democracy

Quote from denner:

The day that the vast majority of the board stops arguing "Dem's" vs "Repub's" is the day that we might have a bit of hope. It's a broken system and yet everybody seems to be waiting for that "next election" to get it right this time.

Can't argue that.

Quote from bugscoe:

And this dipshit politician is exactly why.

When we like the guy(s) we've voted in, democracy is working. When we don't like them, it's broken.

If we really believe the problem is greater than the left/right, democrat/republican divide we typically argue, then why are people still making posts using these terms for criticism or praise? I think the best answer comes from psychology, but that's a subject for another thread.
