        In a broken system full of voter suppression. Not exactly a fair election by any stretch of the imagination.

          …which the democrats upheld during the entirety of the elections. Are the Russians behind the dems too?

            I prefer my oligarchy representatives to at least pretend they care, but I am not about to carry water for the Democratic Party.

            At a certain point the two sides of the same coin falls apart. That point for me is local elections with issues about homelessness. The conservatives campaign to eliminate homelessness by trying to drive them away. The progressives try to solve the actual problems and get people help.

            Edit: I also would like mention election reform. Many of the blue states have been hard at work making sure everyone’s vote can be heard. Many of the red states are restricting voting so less voices can be heard.

        So was Hitler. Thing is, natural law and positive law can diverge significantly, meaning ctitizens will sometimes have to organize against the products of positive law to preserve their decency and freedom.

          Hitler never won absolute majority vote in an election, but I get your point.

          I agree fundamentally with what you say even if I don’t believe in a natural law, that’s why I’m a socialist. So I suggest everyone to organise, to unionize their workplace, to build mutual aid structures in their local areas, and to join a revolutionary socialist party.

        The USA could use a new electoral system with proportional representation and a new constitution with a weaker president and stronger checks and balances. The two party system needs to end. Laws surrounding political advertising and public financing of political parties should be introduced to get some money out of politics.

        Replace common law with civil law to no longer depend on precedent so much. Finally introduce the metric system while you’re at it.
