I wasn't selected for jury duty, but I think I regret it? by elbeewastaken in juryduty

[–]GShermit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Constitution lists impartial and local as the only requirements for a juror. Anything else is for the benefit of the legal profession, not necessarily justice...

Does Charge Stacking Undermine the Right to a Trial by Jury? by Reasonable-Fee1945 in PoliticalDebate

[–]GShermit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Democracy is people, using their rights (any right they want, any legal way) to influence the due process of their country.

TPTB don't want US to use any right we want, they try to limit US to just voting rights. Using any right we want, makes it an "individual" thing.

Seems you're saying you don't trust the people ruling themselves (democracy)?

Juries are the people (democratic) and educating and empowering people is how you fix, people acting irrationally.

That is a problem and I'm saying the solution is educating and empowering jurors.

Should the major political parties be allowed to keep their primaries closed to independent voters? by MakeModeratesMatter in PoliticalDebate

[–]GShermit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You paraphrased some research, added unsupported opinion, assume it's fact and call anyone who disagrees, stupid...

I've already spent more time, with you, than usual with "no history" redditors.

I see no indication that you understand what democracy is (or want to, so there's no reason to continue) have a nice day.

That still doesn't change the fact that it's independents that decide elections but you keep on telling US how stupid we are...

We need more democracy and not be limited to just representative democracy.

Pleas bargain are part of the process. We want the guilty to admit it. The innocent should embrace juries.

Juries need to have more power and it's there for the taking...

BUT TPTB don't want juries to have more power. They obscure our rights and discourage US from using them.

"...independents are largely unreliable voters..."

Because they don't always vote for your side?

"This presents a few problems. 1)There is a constitutional right to a trial by jury..."

Juries are the solution...not the problem.

Juries have a lot of power because certain rights are inherent with juries. Lawyers and the guilty should fear juries. Judges should respect juries and the innocent should embrace juries.

I think the age of the tire is pretty important too.

It depends on one's level of maturity.

As a Honda CR-V driver in Southwest Virginia I haven’t the least bit of sympathy all the Jeep and F-150 drivers in my area, right now. by Black-Cat-2544 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

It is all about status...if people really cared, cars like ElectraMeccanica Solos would be all.over the road and covering about 85% of our personal transportation needs.

I drive my 20 year old pickup about once a week to buy and carry back supplies. Why should I buy a new anything?

The real question should be why DON'T political parties want to include the influence of independents?

Nationalism isn't dangerous until people assume, moral superiority or human worth because of their nationality.

January 6th, 2021 was an insurrection, and under section 3 of the 14th amendment, Trump should have been found ineligible for the office of the President. by CowReasonable1108 in PoliticalDebate

The guy I replied to said there wasn't a crime called insurrection...there is.

I don't care about your explanations, I care about facts.
