    Not even close. Make them start with 60k in debt, they need to pay 6k back every turn, and there is 5% interest on the debt. The debt is paid first and cannot be removed with bankruptcy Also, after 10 turns, if they own no properties, but have made the minimum payment each time, there is a 3% chance that the debt is forgiven. At the end of 20 turns, if they have made all the minimum payments, and they own no properties, flip 9 coins. If all of them are heads, then the debt is forgiven.














  • Ok bud, you are just being pedantic now… I have explained it 1000x times…

    Being pedantic matters here, because you are countering a position I didn’t make. If you don’t want me to be pedantic about it, then either show I made the argument (by quoting it) or drop the argument.

    Correct, to highlight that you are asking people to compromise with the Democrats when the Democrats would not compromise with the people.

    Pretry sure Democrats did compromise with the people who voted in their primary. That’s the whole point of having a primary…


  • So go vote for who you want in the primaries, and vote against who you don’t want in the general.

    Alright. Please highlight in that statement where I said that the US was a perfectly functional and not systemically broken democracy?

    Again I repeat (as many others while you keep on ignoring them in this thread), the problem here is that you keep on painting a picture where people have a say which is not the case.

    Funny that you wrote this… And in the very next paragraph mentioned Mamdani winning despite the opposition from political insiders.

    I don’t think you are in a position to judge the fairness of an election process, as you seem convinced that Bernie should have been the DNC nominee despite losing by 3 million votes in the primary ( and again, that is votes not delegates) And yes, I’m going to call you out on that until you walk it back.


  • You offered a solution based on a working democracy which is not the case here… why do you offer one if you know it won’t work?

    Please provide specifics, otherwise you are just talking around what I actually wrote.

    I did read your link. Do two things for me here. First, look up how many votes (not delegates but votes) Bernie and Hillary got in the primary. Second, please recognize that I am talking about direct votes for a candidate, not the delegates. Let me know if you think a working democracy is one where the less popular candidate gets the nomination.


  • I’m sorry

    No you aren’t, don’t lie.

    …not recognizing the flavour of democracy the USA has is broken is a problem.

    I never claimed that democracy in the US wasn’t broken. If you think I did, please point specific statements.

    Here you go…

    How many votes did Bernie get in the primary, and how many did Hillary get? I can understand being upset about the results of the primary if Bernie had received more votes than Hillary, and then the DNC nominated Hillary anyway, but that didn’t happen. He lost the primary, and thus he was not the candidate. He knows that democracy is a compromisea, and he not just voted for, but publicly supported and campaigned for Hillary after he lost the nomination.
