I think there's shit to work with here. I mean, for real, I think that if we are ever gonna get out of this hole, we need to have actual suggestions for solutions, you know what I mean? It's not good enough to say that shit doesn't work, you need to present shit that would work better, and I'm with you here, but we still need separation of powers.
And have them chosen from a roster of elected council reps, based on a lottery system, so they can never know which ones are going to judge them.
That would take tens of thousands of people though, wouldn't it? Maybe limit it to state senators and house reps.
Are we reinventing the republic? I don't think so, more something like Athenian democracy. That one was flawed but had some solid solutions for the problems we're facing.
I dont like the fact that 250 years ago, one senator represented roughly 40000 constituents or citizens. Today they represent around 600000.
They used to wield way less power, in absolute terms.
This is a great start but can we do like the Egyptians with that one Pharaoh who had his every mention expunged from the historical records just so that nobody gets any fucking ideas.
