Anarchism

No, democracy is voting. Who cares if your voice is heard, your concerns addressed, your best interests considered in all decisions, if you get to choose which person is in charge of making sure none of that happens. You fucking anarchists just hate freedom.

He notes that John Adams wrote that if people could vote that they would abolish debt and redistribute land, so we can't have that.

I think Mr Adams also underestimated the depth of human stupidity and greed

they chose Trump this time around, could have primaried Bernie years ago, chose Reagan over Carter and ob and on.

The Senate by its basic design is anti-democratic. Basically guaranteeing that an elite powerful group will always be able to keep control. The rest of the system is flawed and far from perfect. But honestly fairly workable. If it wasn't for the hobbling that has happened through the centuries. Such as capping the house. Keeping its membership small and static so it's easy to control again by wealthy powerful individuals.

Just abolishing the Senate and uncapping the house would go a long long way. If the house was set back to how it was set at it's founding. 1 per 30000 citizens. There would be over 10,000 Congressional representatives as opposed to the current 435. Though all that still is stopgap ultimately as the state realistically is the problem.

Thanks

I know, right?

It doesn't encourage discussion at all and most of those posts I come across have no comments because obviously there's nothing to engage w if you just drop an article link and run off.
