        Surely the richest men alive will save us from the predations of the rich and powerful.

      I think I believe we should have a parliamentary system. This two-party shit is a sham. I haven’t researched it enough to say I definitely think that’s the way to go, but it’s on my mind recently.

        more parties and the removal of the Reappointment act of 1929. Hell more senators, and a check on the Supreme Court couldn’t hurt.

        We need a complete constitutional convention and Oligarchs and their pawns are not invited.

    My favorite bullshit from the MAGAs had been “this is not a democracy, it’s a republic”.

    It used to be both, now it aspires to be neither.

    We already did. Shit’s done unless there’s an uprising. The Russian tail being present in every swing state has me convinced it was hacked. They aren’t going to give it back. Elon, Thiel, and Putin stole it, and we are now a vassal state of Russia and tech billionaires. Even if an audit proves it was stolen, I don’t even know if there’s a way to go back. Trump will just yell fake news, refuse to leave, and the LEOs and Military will probably take his side. We are fucked.
