Let me ask you a question, what do you think of the Direct Election of Senators? Do you think instead of the populace directly voting for the President, the Senate should vote?

I guess you are asking if the president should be elected directly by the people or indirectly with the the people electing the senators and the senators electing the president. If so, I think that the people should select the president directly. I also think it should be by the popular vote. The only good argument for the electoral college imo is the firewall against voter fraud. The major drawback to the electoral college imo is the way it gives preferential treatment to swing states and the voters in them.

Do you know how the President of the European Commission is picked?

Do you know how the President of the EC's cabinet members are selected?

Do you know where all laws must originate from in the EU?

Does the European Council have to abide by the EU Parliament's votes?

Can the European Parliament abolish laws by itself?

There are huge differences between the roles of the US executive and the EC President. Do you think everybody should be elected directly? How about the Supreme Court?

Nah, the French are a special kind of liberal cuck. Imagine a nation of Marcus's.


Sure, the countryside wants her, but the city dwellers are more numerous and love them some submission.

Sometimes it's just fucking exhausting to be right all the time!
