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.
Another REPUBLIC but with fewer 3-Letter agencies, a more thorough vetting process for our elected officials, bureaucrats, and judges, and maybe a few more amendments added to the Constitution that better outlines what the media & tech companies, PACs & Super PACs, private donors, charitable orgs, and unions can do and get away with. NO FOREIGN DONATIONS, EITHER.
A REPUBLIC that's founded on certain "democratic" principles is best for Humanity, as long as The People don't become lulled into blissful, sleepy stupidity.
Oh, and a NATIONWIDE voter I.D. mandate. If ya wanna vote, show some I.D. with your signature on it so it can be PROPERLY verified and counted.
Also, NO MORE political "dynasties." If you are elected to a political office, then it excludes your family for 3 generations, at any level (city, county, State, Federal).
Lastly, term limits Alla cross the various levels of govt and top bureaucratic positions. No more than 8 yrs. This includes breaks in "service." 8 yrs, MAX. Keep yhr House, Senate, and Gubernatorial races on intervening years between Presidential races, but only 8 yrs, MAX for any level.
