    We have this crazy thing in democracy we’re supposed to use where we’re allowed to all vote to change stuff about how the government runs to make things run better.

    The hard part of government has never been the governing principals, but the politicians themselves. Idc what government system you choose, I will point out to you how it can be exploited and poisoned.

      The hard part about democracy is having a democracy that’s actually controlled by the people.

      The very nature of democracy is a collective negotiation between the “huddled masses yearning to breathe free,” and those in power who can only remain in their positions as a result of that collective suffering. Government is a religion of ignorance, and politicians are the clergy.
