  • It is the system we have, it is better than most other systems in the world, and there is no way to change it for the better at this point in time. Supporting it being perverted into something else will lead to other perversions like we are seeing right now.

    You are falling into the Trap of supporting everything the right wing purports to support. I imagine you also defend everything to the hilt that the right wing attacks. While they are trying to make those things worse, but those things have legitimate problems of Their Own.

    Like Federal agencies, all of which are failing in their statutory duties. No offense but you guys are all fucking hopeless.






  • The right and Republican party is completely full of shit on everything, they believe in nothing. But the Constitution did set the country up for states to be like their own nations, that founding Charter gives the feds the authority to regulate interstate commerce, deal with foreign Nations and treaties, and that is about it.

    That the right has cynically used that to further their own interests does not mean you should support the opposite of that. It is beyond clear that the federal government is a monster. It already was and now will be much worse. If you want a federal government with the power it has now maybe you should put forth a constitutional amendment because they do not have the authority to do the shit they are doing.



  • The federal government has become the monster it was checked and balanced not to.

    We celebrate the feds ursurping authority because slavery, and then civil rights, but the feds are only authorized domestically to regulate interstate commerce, and forbidden from placing restrictions on movement of goods and people in the country.

    We would have support across the country forcing the feds to back off getting into everybody’s business.

    Here we are with feds bringing military troops into cities to occupy the hoods the country has made, a clear violation of their authority. This is just getting warmed up, we should pass a constitutional smmendment forbidding the feds from income taxes beyond soc. sec., medicare, medicaid, etc really.

    It could pass by referendums in 30 dome states, would just need a handful more.

    It sounds extreme but is the only way to stop the executive branch long term.




  • Smaller countries are easier to get new governments in. The bigger it is the harder it is to oust a leader, let alone get better leadership in after.

    I think these south asians are on to something with their methods of protesting here, idk if I can say this on here but targeting the homes of lawmakers garnered by corrupt means, and government buildings, seems to be a good strategy.

    Sri lanka, indonesia, and nepal all did this recently and I think I am missing some even.
