Because. Everybody knows. That the world is full of stupid people. So meet me at the mission at midnight. We'll divvy up there.
I've got the pistols, so I'll keep the pesos - yeah, that seems fair.
First, the Republicans need to lose the election.
He’s such a wannabe. Look at him, trying to fake Wisconsin.
That's moon cheese.
How can the usa be a democracy when their politicians are so easily purchased?
It never was. It’s a constitutional republic created to benefit slave-owning, white, male property owners.
The constitution should’ve been burned and rewritten multiple times already. An archaic, 250-year-old document isn’t relevant in modern times.
Exactly. More to the point, it was designed to be rewritten and modified. The founders knew it would need to be changed. The problem is, the USA has become so big, and we've made it so hard to do so.
What parts specifically do you have issue with?
Well, basically the entire thing. The changes needed to truly democratize and modernize the document would require a complete rewrite.
There’s many things that need changing, but some of the basics would be to abolish the senate to eliminate disproportionate representation that led to the coup we just experienced, for one. The establishment of a true parliamentary system where representatives can be recalled at any time, second. Then, minimizing and subjugating the power of the executive and courts to parliament.
I would prefer the parliament nominate a prime minister who serves at the will of the people and can be dismissed at any time, and not have complete control over the military and bureaucracy.
Prevention and punishment for political corruption needs to be baked into the constitution to ensure politicians truly serve as servants to the public will and are forbidden from pursuing their own financial interests in office.
I could go on and on about more specific things like the right to arms, but I’d I have to write an essay.
The framers themselves intended for the document to be rewritten over time. Jefferson said the tree of liberty is watered with the blood of tyrants, or something that effect.
Ok let’s start at the first amendment. What needs changing?
You can’t “line item” each thing. The entire document requires a convoluted and complicated process that prevents things from being rewritten easily.
That’s why the entire thing needs to be scrapped. Other countries have already done this multiple times and they’re fine.
The USA constitution is not sacred nor worth preserving. It’s archaic and needs to go. Traditionalism holds back human progress and nationalism led to fascism in this country.
Gonna just have to flat out disagree with you then. A large majority of it is still extremely relevant to our modern society. Sure it’s not perfect, but nothing is.
Tell me the constitutional weaknesses and loopholes weren’t exploited to allow the oligarchs to hand power to a fascist traitor who doesn’t respect the law.
What good is a constitution if it can’t even prevent the situation we’re in now?
You might as well as look for a new country because anything you have proposed is never going to happen. A line item is the only way anything is going to change. There is no way in this current environment a new constitution will be agreed upon.
We could prevent could prevent a repeat of this situation by allowing the people to call for congressional and presidential snap elections and also having them to be able to recall their individual representatives. A way to deal with the supreme court would be to make the justices have to go through retention votes.
Scalpel like changes that preserve the essence of the constitution are more likely to get ratified.
It’s more a failure of the courts then it is of the constitution. If it was upheld this corruption would not be permitted.
The Courts failed because they were handed too much power in the first place. They’re unelected officials who are chosen by a partisan executive branch, so they’re the extension of the president’s political agenda and just as subject to corruption. If the President wants fascism, they can stack the Court to get fascism, and since there’s no term limits, we’re stuck with them for life.
And since medical interventions keep these folks alive well into dinosaur age, that’s a long time to be stuck with a biased Court. That is inherently anti democratic.
Trying to remove a legal document from the cultural zeitgeist in which it was created is impossible. It was designed from the ground up to abolish all limits on White property/slave owners and give them license to make money without repercussions. That included allowing politicians themselves to exploit citizens and their own positions for economic gains.
The landed gentry of colonists were rebelling against what they perceived as economic repression, not repression of rights. Freedom to the mercantilist class meant freedom of economic exploitation.
Our bill of rights doesn’t go far enough. It needs to be rewritten to exclude businesses as people, and protect the rights of marginalized groups. It also needs to address election reform, political corruption, and the complete removal of money from politics.
If we instead lived by Hammurabi’s code, would that still work in the modern age?
It's not, and that is sad
It's a lot easier to buy a politician than a voter.
We have a saying: "vote with your dollars"
I don't understand why people are allowed to give money to politicians that aren't in their district. Like only donate to politicians that are running in the district that you're registered to vote in.
Didn't he offer money directly to voters at some point?
Yeah, there was a contest for like a million dollars that you entered by registering to vote in certain states.
And now Wisconsin is going after him for election bribery. I hope something actually comes of it, but i don't have high hopes.
I don't understand why people are allowed to give money to politicians
Ftfy
Must be nice to have $100 million you can just sneeze away.
“Nicer” to be able to do whatever you want to anyone you want without a single actual consequence. The life of an American billionaire. True freedom.
(Can someone please 86 this mofo already?)
That would take a 100 years to earn if you earn 1 millon a year - and pay no tax.. I doubt many here are on that kind of money. Scarier still, this is most likely less than his passive income this year from his investments.
If you work from age 20 to 70, 50 years, earning $50,000/year every year, and spent none of it, on taxes, on housing, on food, on TV, on fun things. You would make 2.5 million dollars in your lifetime.
Abolish Billionaires+.
I love when they spend enormous amounts of money, and lose anyway.
Vote for people that musky boy doesn’t support. It’s a drop in the ocean for the cunt, but make sure that the money is wasted and that he fucking knows it
Good luck with that. Many more people are paying attention now and see whats happening in this country. For example Aipac and other outside groups flushed 60 million down the toilet to support primary loser Haley Steven's in Michigan. Elon is more of a global pariah now than he was during the last election.
Remember: this is the jackass that claims the Overton Window moved to the left, LOL. To demonstrate this "fact", he used a cartoon. And that's why he had to be a fascist.
Typical DARVO bullshit.
Democracy can’t survive with these people alive
Arrest this loser.
He's using money to fund people that hate him and ousted him.
Man that must be a sad way to live.
