We’ve (USA) been in a republic since independence. Democracy only for local elections, and then electing representatives.
The country has its downfalls. We could use an update to our voting system to represent the people more to boot.
That’s where the comparison between a felon and a non-felon become salient. The one with felonies actively tried to corrupt the voting system more than once. If the people are expected to buy into the system at all they need to be able to have free, and transparent elections.
The courts also decided that corporations are people, and they can contribute to campaigns like people.
The courts also decided that political action committees could take massive amounts of cash and spend it as they want with very little oversight.
The system needs to get its stuff together, its true purpose of serving the aristocracy is showing too much.
The people won’t challenge the status quo, the majority with their bread and circuses.
Speaking of ‘democracy’ or other types of government.
Democracy can be perverted quickly, the majority eating all minorities rapidly.
Democratic republics seem to have corporations entrenched in them currently, serving the corporation not the person.
Been called a corporatocracy i believe.
Communism hasn’t survived without being corrupted to date.
There should be a solution that actually works, any ideas?
Better things are possible, people need to change how they’re approaching the situation(s). We need to stop genocide everywhere and work together.
People who change their mind can be better.

You spent so many posts and so many words when all you really said was “better things aren’t possible”.
You spent one word describing a situation. You were wrong.
Better things are possible, people need to change how they’re approaching the situation(s). We need to stop genocide everywhere and work together. People who change their mind can be better.
Do you have any ideas of how we can get there?
