Been thinking about this a lot: We need a new method of governance. I think Trumps been hinting at this as well. The swamp has been exposed and its very deep and all encompassing. It’s beyond needing a little landscaping to fix it. It needs to be burned down completely so something new can grow from the ash-fertilized soil.
It took 200 years for the system to be totally compromised and also 200 years for us to figure out that the system itself has lost sight of its prior intention, to act in the best interests of its people. This has been developing since WW1. Pots boiling now!
Our government today doesn’t really do anything for the people. It’s all for their own benefit and the benefit of their special interest group donors. They’re holding US back. They’re slowing down innovation.
I think a grassroots cooperative decentralized movement (similar to how wall street bets were able to collectively out perform the stock market) could be created and could outperform our current government. I think a group of hundreds of thousands or even millions of patriotic Americans can make decisions much more effectively than slimey Dem or Rep politicians.
Anyone have any ideas on this?
How would this work exactly?
Do it on localized levels/state levels?
Why should my laws be the same as a New Yorkers laws?
Why do we even need a federal government?
Was this the intention of the original constitution?
I feel like this is where we need to go but I have no idea where we would even start.
Eliminate all campaign donations and lobbying. Political candidates are allowed equal access to certain websites for voter information. Debates can be utilized also. Politicians have to open up all of their financial records. No stock trading allowed except blind trusts, including candidates spouses. Term limits. Truth in media, with serious consequences for false and politically motivated editing. Free speech across social media, with sites that are kids friendly, blocking obscenity. To me, we do not need thousands of pages of new laws every year. This is the problem. They are like royalty ruling over us. All laws need to be brought back to basics. Flat tax, no IRS. God help us, it all needs to cleaned up.
