It seems like anything critical of the deep state get immediately downvoted here and then floats back up after a certain time. There also no argument given as to why the downvotes occur. Maybe downvotes with substantive replys should carry more weight?
And theres always shareblue monitoring forums, which is deeply embedded with spooks.
Unelecteds heavily vote democrat/big government because of job security. They don't care about your rights hence pro-FISA. As a matter of fact it appears many of them believe your rights are afforded to you by the government, which seems very totalitarian.
- ethbr1 2y agoBecause when you say emotionally-inflammatory, illogical things, most people will downvote and move on, instead of engaging? If you want a substantive discussion, try dropping the fear-words like "unelected"s: this isn't the Fox News comment section.
- ecommerceguy 2y agoAnd here is an example of ad hominem attacks and downvotes. Nothing substantial was said, you have given 0 examples of illogical or emotional content. Do facts scare you because they are certainly unelected as in not elected to the office they hold. What word would make you feel better, @ethbr1? I assume you are not an American.
- ethbr1 2y agoWho heads the executive branch?
- ecommerceguy 2y agoI don't mind feeding trolls so here it goes. The elected President is head of the executive branch. What's your point? The above comment is an excellent example of what type of comment should be grey texted into oblivion.
- ethbr1 2y agoIf the President is elected, and the President holds the power to staff the executive branch (subject to the approval of Congress and the restraints on arbitrary exercise of the CSA of 1883 and CSRA of 1978), then in what sense is the bureaucracy uncontrolled by the electorate? Or do I misunderstand the American system of government?
- ecommerceguy 2y agoYes, you are severely misunderstanding the federal government or at the least making a leap of judgement. https://apnews.com/article/federal-employee-job-protections-rule-trump-biden-4c1954c0ac089d0370a405ec4029fc9d https://apnews.com/article/federal-employee-job-protections-... You sure seem awfully defendant of FISA and government abuse. Why is that?
- ethbr1 2y agoThe CSA and CSRA were both implemented to put a stop to the spoils system for executive offices that existed previously. Do you think that was better? And if not, how would you propose re-politicizing civil service positions without falling victim to spoils again?
