Rep. Paul Gosar said that the “homosexual-promoting” general “would be hung” in a better society.

Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) called for the execution of General Mark Milley, the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in a homophobic tirade this weekend.

In his newsletter this weekend – published to his Congressional website – Gosar accused Milley of being a “homosexual-promoting-BLM-activist” who delayed the military’s response to the January 6 riot. An election denier, Gosar has in the past claimed that he “started the revolution,” referring to the insurrection.

    I like the Australian system better. It ain’t perfect, but it is better imo. Regardless, dragging the conservatives kicking and screaming into modernity, much less the future, has thus far proven to be a mixed bag at best. The fact that they’re currently backsliding is hard as they possibly can isn’t helping.

      MMP is the “better” system.

      No system is perfect. NZ went from First past the post (what the USA uses) to MMP.

      The aus system is pretty good too, but still dominated by two parties.

        It’s really three parties though, the Liberals have needed the Nationals quite often in order to gain the house. Plus last election we saw a surge in support for independents, who are actually being extremely effective in both Parliament and Senate. Lastly, year-on-year the Greens poach more from both sides as climate change becomes topical.
