I mean, I agree with you on abortion and open borders, but since gay marriage literally doesn’t affect people other then the gay people getting married anyway... and it’s like voting on straight people not being allowed to be married, it’s uh, a bit complicated.

Personally the only thing I feel strongly about is the open border issue. I just chose those issues because they've been enormous social changes in our country, that were never really decided by the people.

I disagree open light border security is good unlike heavy closed borders because we can get more people who have worked in hard conditions making them experts, so we can fire more workers here and conscript them.

If we were a "democracy" and not a "republic" that would have been possible. Change the constitution.

We're supposed to be a "republic" yes, but our elites say otherwise and constantly yap about "democracy" or "we must save democracy" while their actions say otherwise.

or maybe just let people VOTE and not suppress the voting? When you have a failing message, and a losing party, the logical step is stop people from voting.

I assume you're talking about Georgia? My point is with all of these issues is that the people didn't have a say, and the gang of 9 in DC decided for them. What's the point of being able to vote, when the really important decisions have never been given to the people in first place. Further, the establishment prattles constantly about "democracy" and the "will of the people" (especially during Trump) when they obviously don't care about democracy when it produces a result they don't wish for.
