What is your line in the sand?
Edit: thank you all for your responses. I think it’s important as an American we take your view points seriously. I think of a North Korean living inside of North Korea. They don’t really know how bad it is because that is all hidden from them and they’ve never had anything else. As things get worse for Americans it’s important to have your voices because we will become more and more isolated.
Even the guy who said, “lol.” Some people need that sort of sobering reaction.
There have been so many crossroads to fix the problems with US Democracy. We had removed money from politics for like seven years. We have states agreeing to give EC votes to majority winners. We had opportunities to expand the house and senate, and the SCOTUS. We could be taxing the rich right now but instead we collectively chose to let Republicans write the tax laws right as their old ones expired.
It’s the only world power that even comes close to fair elections and outcomes but we never choose to improve it.
What I lack faith in isn’t the democracy, but I lack faith in our people for their choices. We’re truly outnumbered by ignorant morons. Even with a perfect democracy, there is nowhere to go but down in this scenario.
