“but then, less than two years after the inauguration, the midterm election cripples that same president’s ability to advance that agenda.”

Lamenting that the will of the people stand in the way of King Hussein.

But especially at a time when Americans’ confidence in the ability of their government to address pressing concerns is at a record low, two-year House terms no longer make any sense. We should get rid of federal midterm elections entirely...

That statement is absent any logic whatsoever:

1) if government is viewed as unable to address concerns, elections should be held more frequently, not less so

2) Senators rotate according to 6 year staggered terms; some MUST be elected at mid-terms

These people have the reasoning skills of a brain-dead two year-old

As during the 2000 election, they wanted to ditch the Electoral College. They never change.

The only reason we don't have annual elections to the House is due to the difficulty of 18th century travel.

<>The realities of the modern election cycle are that we spend almost two years selecting a president with a well-developed agenda, but then, less than two years after the inauguration, the midterm election cripples that same president’s ability to advance that agenda.<>

Despite the wholesale democratic debauchery of our Constitution, the Progs have had it with fake republicanism, and prefer an El Presidente with the prerogatives of a king, and morals of Stalin.

I’d like to change the way we vote too. National law that everyone must be registered to vote or register to vote not less than 4 weeks before the election. And everyone must present that registration card at the time they vote. No card, no matching name on the register, no vote, no exceptions. Only american citizens who have never been convicted of a felony allowed to vote. No exceptions.

Like spoiled children, if they can’t win playing by the rules, their answer is to change the rules.

Remember the Star Trek episode where Spock and Kirk played “Fizbin” with a bunch of gangsters? It was a fictitious card game Kirk made up to distract the goons, and he made up ludicrously complex and often contradictory rules as he went along.

The Democrats are the Fizbin party.

It’s like when Dems lose close elections they want the Electoral College eliminated. When they win because of the EC they are silent.

Case in point; Hillary Clinton. Her husband was only elected with 43% of the national vote in 1992 but won the EC. In 2000, after Bush squeaked by with an EC win but lost the national vote like Clinton, she was for getting rid of it.

They love the rules when they win.

They want to get rid of them when they lose.

Another example of libtards not actually taking that last life-defining step from adolescent to independent adult.

Libtards are stuck, stunted, in perpetual adolescense. For whatever reason they never made the final step to functioning independent adult.

Think of all the negatives of teens. We all were one. We know our shortcomings at that stage. Demand everything, demand independence yet expect others to bail them out of their bad decisions. Not want to suffer bad conseuquences of actions, but not share anything for good consequences with others (all mine!). Expect others to take care of them. Idealism, never admitting they are wrong, rationalizing away obvious failures based on bad naive idealistic ideas that do not work in the real world and defy genuine human nature. Authroity figs are stupid and don’t know anything, they know far more than mom and dad. Scorn at those who went through same things before them. Think every thought they have nobody else has ever had. World should be totally focused around them, and specifically, their groins.
