I don't want to derail this thread but this means nothing. People vote for a living. How can checks and balances work if congress is full ignorant robots, and the judicial system and executive branch is passing laws? PM me if you wanna talk.
Thanks....
I don't need to PM you to talk, I can already see it would be fruitless. I was a poli sci major, I've worked on several campaigns, and believe me I know more than enough on the subject. I know plenty of people to argue with that disagree with me, but who's opinions I also respect. Some random on the internet who thinks they know more than me is pretty low on my list. The comment I called out was saying that the President is a dictator. If you really believe that, then I think it should be obvious who the ignorant one is.The voting thing doesn't matter? Thats one of the primary things that makes our government not a dictatorship, if you want to argue that the electoral college is a mess, well I agree with you, but likening our system of elections to a dictatorial regime is the highest form of reductio ad absurdum.
Congress is full of ignorant robots? Fallacy. They have more power than the executive branch, this is an absolute truth. The "robotic" perception comes from it's beauracratic nature, and the miles of red tape they need to cut through to actually do anything. I agree that their hands are often tied, but they are far from useless.
Speaking of Congress, I see you're from Wisconsin. Let me take a moment to thank you for Tammy Baldwin, she's amazing. Now that with that out of the way, let me ask you: Ron Johnson!? ******* REALLY!?

Anyways their was a little sarcasm involved when I said "Obama is a dictator". However he is doing many unconstitutional things. His whole "not so secret anymore" drone project is a slippery slope. Many of his executive orders have not been used towards federal agencies, he is wastefully spending, and throwing many of our rights out of the window. Religion is getting taken out of schools, gun are being banned, and the government is catering to those who have alternate lifestyles. Especially in schools. Congress is letting Obama do these things which is why I said what I did. Why didn't they know about his drone project????? I guess that is not their fault. Its more Obama's but I'm sure he will get away with it.
