3 days agoWe need a five party system.
The real lesson in all this is how paralyzed (by design) we the people are in this moment. There’s no pressure because the two parties break bread together when the cameras are off.
Term limits for congress Outlaw lobbyism Aggressively prosecute insider trading by congress (and their family members)
All of this takes ethics and morals though. We’re fucked.
I’m curious what qualifies a “democratic voter” as worthy of ridicule - can you give me some examples?
Much like an outsider looking in at your country (whatever it is), there’s a ton of nuance to every culture. For example; I’m a decendant of a family that settled in New England in 1603 and I can’t fucking stand the 2 party system. I’ve always wanted to abolish lobbyism, set term limits on congress critters, and outlaw insider trading for both politicians and their immediate families - but my average neighbor gets exhausted if I talk about anything but the simple stupid pleasures. I identify as an adult with compassion and a vision for my kids’ future so that makes me a defacto dem because anything else is spoon-feeding the grand ole wizard party a victory.
Tons of us have been trapped here our whole lives and have tried to organize over the years. I know it seems like all finger-pointing and inaction from afar, but it’s more nuanced than that.
Edit: Not to mention that civil unrest is the whole point at this stage. Project 2025 has the penultimate goal of suspending the writ of habeus corpus by June 30th while simultaneously deploying the US Military as a civilian police force.
