  • There are some verbal signs that Republicans are breaking. Representatives are slowly beginning to express doubts, but I'll believe them when they actually do something

  • Eroding democracy isn't an on off switch per se. He's been actively dismantling systems since day one. It is hard to say exactly when all is lost and there's no coming back. That could have been last week or it could be next month. I suppose that will be up to historians.

    I think frogs in a pot slowly being heated to a boil is a better analogy. We were pretty fucked as soon as we went in the pot. If there's any sense we can maybe jump out, but eventually we'll die if we don't act

  • I'd rather die quickly with a small chance of taking out an oppressor than to die slowly in a concentration camp

  • I truly don't think democracy has very long in this country. Either the people rise up or die under oppression.

  • Exactly, I definently miss the times when politics could be more easily separated, at least mentally, from the day. But at this point we're in an actual dumpster fire. There's not much else to look at.

  • The goal is not to take out the entirety of ICE yourself. The goal is if they come for you to go down fighting and hope to take at least one. The only other option is to go peacefully and be shipped to an El Salvadorian gulag. Where you'll probably die anyway.

    Better to die trying imo

  • Yep the system was built on good faith and the idea that at least one of these branches would do better.

    If I were to rebuild the system I'd probably push greater power to state legislatures and the people of the state over their congressional representatives. For example say a 2/3rds majority of a state senate can recall a congressman and trigger reelection. Then every state should also have a way for the people directly to trigger recall elections.

    Elections for the house and senate also need to occur yearly or every other year. Imagine if 1/4th of senate seats were elected every year.

    We need to expand congress. 2 senators per state was for when the US had way less people. Why not bump it up to 3? The house of Representatives could also use another 100+ seats added.

    Finally put term limits on the Supreme Court and introduce ranked choice voting.

  • Sure that explains the bottom gap, but the side gaps are the issue. I've never made eye contact with a grown man that's crawled under my stall. I have made eye contact with someone walking by the stall door through the door crack.
