    Not really though. This isn’t the system not working this is reasonable steps on law being abused to extend that prosecution essentially as long as you can afford to throw legal bullshit at them to create delays.

        Who said always.

        Ed: to be clear no one did. And in fact a system that you agree has fundamental flaws is in fact fundamentally flawed by your own admission.

        Being contrarian is ok but being tedious and contrarian all while making an argument based on words and implications that didn’t exist is a bad look.

          A system that can elect a felon faster than prosecute him is fundamentally broken.

          This quote says, in other words, prosecuting a felon always has to take less time than electing him in a system that is not broken. Because, if it sometimes can take longer, then the system is broken according to the quote.

          And in fact a system that you agree has fundamental flaws is in fact fundamentally flawed by your own admission.

          Because I agree the US system is broken as fuck. But the original quote is still dumb as rocks. Both can be true at the same time.

          while making an argument based on words and implications that didn’t exist is a bad look.

          Not reading and understanding the whole comment thread before responding is a bad look.

            Not at all. That’s arguing one of the two of those things is broken and on this case it’s both.

            Both can be true at the same time.

            In this case no, you’re simply making conclusions based on your reading of it not the actual words in it.

            Not reading and understanding the whole comment thread before responding is a bad look.

            Agreed, you should have a look at your comments and take it to heart yourself.

              Now I am curios, what does this sentence mean in your head?

              A system that can elect a felon faster than prosecute him is fundamentally broken.

                That the system is fundamentally broken which you’ve already agreed with.

                Ed: curious not curios.

                  There is no “the system” in that sentence. The sentence is a generalization, not talking about a specific system.

                    The system [of government, you bafoon]. Stating you dont understand interference probably isn’t going to help you.

                    It is specifically talking about the system of election and prosecution in this country ironically both executive functions so “the system” is incredibly accurate.
