A healthy vibrant democracy.

EDIT: Lmao the bill introduces criminal penalties for officials caught lying in parliament.

You do not, under any circumstances, 'gotta hand it to em' (because he will run away with it)

What's the context? What was the bill about? What are this guy's politics like?

According to another in this thread:

I think the current DPP goverment lacks a majority in congress. The KMT + their allies are trying to limit the Executive branch powers and the DPP are angry because now they won't be able to do shit to sabotage a future unification with China.

Wait, KMT are the least shit party in all this?

Yeah they're more amicable towards normalizing relations with the PRC and future reunification. It's strange but these days the DPP are Washington's main puppets.

every time i try to read traditional chinese i feel grateful for the CPC i'm not gonna lie to you lol

that could also just be me tho. idk

I like traditional for the aesthetic, like if you're gonna make old school signage or calligraphy, it just looks better. But for everyday reading and writing it's just so much more tedious. Simplifying the characters was the right decision when it comes to education and accessibility.

See this is EXACTLY why we need blockchain. Never would have happened.

Imagine Kamala Harris dashing out of the Senate with a USB key containing all 1,776 of the US Congressional $VOTE tokens.

Critical support to the DPP against Taiwan's bourgeois democracy.
