One MAN is blocking progress for millions.
One snowflake.
One man representing how many voters?
One man cares about what is in pants of other pair of adults.
Also he didn’t represent majority at election time (29% in first round). Turnout was just 66%. In second round he was just 2% ahead. Only 10kkk voted for him, out of 29kkk eligible. And I’m sure even less will vote for him if elections would be tomorrow. In any case controlling who can marry who based on their sex is pathetic mindset for a society
10 kkk? 10 billion?
Yeah, I was sleepy af. I meant kk of course, millions.
Everyone who did not go to vote, accepted and is ok with him. I think voting in a way that makes your vote not count is a better statement. If majority of non-voters are really against it, you would see it if 20+% would vote but in a way it doesn’t count. For non-voters, i assume they voted for the winner. Nothing else makes sense for me. Also it still showed that more cared for him vs people caring for someone else.
No-vote doesn’t mean they are ok. If both candidates going to oppress your group, by not casting vote do you disagree with both or agree with the one who won?
I’d argue no-vote actually goes against president who is constantly vetoing. If you look at those who didn’t vote as “don’t care” that means they are open to whatever new policy to come. Then they are not supporting president veto. How is 1/3 for president (for his veto power) more than 2/3 against president or “don’t care”?
I’m not supporting no-vote stance. I think you still should vote for what is less evil for you personally. But some people just gave up on system.
Didn’t get point about 20%, can you elaborate?
by not casting vote do you disagree with both or agree with the one who won?
In my you clearly agree with who wins. My point was that if you disagree with all, you go vote but in a way it is registered as “mistake/error/wrong” vote. That way you don’t vote for one, as you don’t like any and your vote still gets counted. No one can tell anyone that if a big percentage voted “wrong/erroneous” that all those were not able to vote. That does not happen, only if (at least the majority) did show with this that they did not want to vote for anyone. They wanted to vote and therefor gave their vote, but in a way it gets counted without giving the vote to anyone. If you stay away from voting, you are ok with whoever wins. Either way it’s already something wrong if you have to think about this situation.
Who the fuck cares, this is not a decision that should depend on a democratic majority either way.
Too many to be concentrated in one person, the representation is destined to be inaccurate and subcomplex.
Does Poland have the same concept of overriding a veto that the US does?
Yes, 2/3 of the parliament can override the veto. They don’t have 2/3 of the votes.
The president is very popular right now. He’s the most trusted politician in the country and is ranked as 3rd best president Poland had.
The sad reality is that Poland is still very conservative and a lot of poles don’t want same-sex marriages to be legal. This law passed partially because the government knows it will go nowhere. It’s a win-win for them. Signal good intentions to parts of their base without actually doing anything other parts of their base wouldn’t like.
Oh no does a wittle old president have fear that two men or two women might actually live a happy life together as a couple? How pathetic…
