But not you, or any of them ever bothered to Leave this nation...as you should have because of your IGNORANCE.
    I knew you wouldn't answer honestly.

    You really are deranged. What part of what I said was a lie? Other than what your feeble, illiterate, challenged gray matter sponge would insist?

    Only one word can answer your question. COUNTRY.

    Welcome back, Balu. And I'm going to say that this election protest situation is a good example of zugzwang. The Dems and Republicans would both like the other side to do something, but don't want to step into it themselves.

    Blame those deaths on him and nobody else.

    It prevents 'regions' from dominating the system, while still keeping representation pretty close to equal.

    Then there are the problems that can come from one centralized voting system, we have 50+. That makes wholesale fraud darn near impossible.
    Thank you so much for your kind expressing your attitude towards the existing election system. For me it is very interesting to learn the thoughts and arguments of a real person, but not engaged "experts" and corrupt journalists whom I don't trust.

    But not in cases when legal results of election are concerned. There nature of election is that one of the Parties wins and the other loses.

    Yes.

    What we're seeing here is total panic as reality sets in. The free ride welfare people know that very soon they'll have to work like the rest of us.

    And they're not happy about that.
