We really gotta stop using that girl in memes that make her seem crazy. She was the calmest most reasoned person in that video.

Right, so the proper order of operations here is to get rid of the corrupt billionaires, so that we can clean up the corrupt government.
Pretty sure the Leftist there would agree
So... Anyone up for Corrupt Socialism? It's not looking so bad these days, eh?
I think that must be the most cold take anyone has ever had in the entire history of thinking. There were mollusks who already understood this. This isn't news to anyone.
Idk still seems like a majority of people still think if "their side" was in power it would fix everything.
In my country my side is in power and they're all useless. But it's still better than the alternative, at least we're not at war with Iran alongside the US and Israel. Which is what would have happened otherwise.
Everyone knows it's the rich and powerful who are in control it's why socialism is such an appealing idea, and why of course it will never happen.
Everyone is "I need someone who I can vote for!"
Why not run yourself? I bet there is a considerable amount of people willing to vote for a random person who has no known connections to oligarchs, pedophiles or billionaires
Because I don't want to be a politician.
There are also too many stupid executives. That doesn't mean that I want to be an executive. I cannot both be a politician and an executive.
Because I'm not tough enough to handle the death threats I'd get for being trans.
Corrupt billionaires controlling the government in a fight to hoover up every last penny of the entire population of the earth are a substantial problem.
The majority of the right doesn't actually care about corruption as long as they see it benefiting them, or hurting the 'other team'. It doesn't actually need to benefit them it can even hurt them substantially, as long as it hurts the other side more and they are told they could have an advantage due to it.
In the end, the left politicians are as into the corruption as the right, they're just better at lip service and nothing is going to change.
So billionaires are the problem?
Extreme wealth disparity is the problem. When people can get vastly more rich than everyone else, to the point they can buy entire governments, the system turns from democratic to autocratic.
It's been a recurring problem in the US for generations, especially since the temptation once a person is elected into federal office (or even high state office) is to forgo fixing the system in favor of getting rich from lobbyist bribes.
Way too much credit is being given to both sides of this. Everybody is just cheering for one team or another with their votes. Whatever they say aloud doesn't really matter because the result is handing over any choice or real practical discourse to a handful of people who are entirely at the mercy of their political parties and the party sponsors.
Choosing a lesser evil is always better than doing nothing but we really need more than two choices at this point. The massive PAC funding has to go and campaigns really need to have extremely strict regulation that is thus far unprecedented imo. We also truly need national ranked choice voting, strict term limits for all elected positions and honestly, age limits too.
Would be nice if we had more popular vote based levers as well to force certain policies or decisions, but the tyranny of the majority has some challenges too. Maybe congress and the courts should be expanded so that more people are involved in the representation of a country that had ~26 senators and ~65 representatives in 1791 when we only had around 4 million americans. We are close to 350 million people now which is 87.5x more than then, so shouldn't the have closer to ~2275 senators and ~5688 representatives? Would be a hell of a lot harder to keep this many people in lockstep with "loyal" party line voting like there is today in our completely fucked system especially with term limits that mean they don't have to worry about re-election (maybe it should be one term only, ever. Longer duration but the citizens of a district should be able to vote to trigger a new election cycle for what's remaining in a term.)
Oh and districts at this point probably shouldn't be based on drawn voting maps. Everybody's social security number should go into a pool and be randomly assigned to a district in every state that corresponds to the amount of representatives they have. The voting places could be the same local ones and the tallies could still be done, we'd just need a number of voting forms in each voting location that corresponds to each district based on the amount of voters. They could even print these out on demand on the day of to avoid waste if we want to avoid a digital solution.
anywho, feel free to dunk on all of it. These words don't even matter, this will never happen. The ones in power run the show and do not want to give up their power.
Not much to disagree with here. I like the thought of future governments that are written to resist corruption. I think you raise several good ways to do this. I think ultimately electing by popular vote has to go away in favor of a system that randomly elects from a qualified pool with term and age limits.
A government has to be designed to resist corruption instead of embracing it.
Soon there will be a critical mass of people who have nothing left to lose. In these times people instinctively, correctly, lash out at those who have the most.
Keep the masses busy with UFCs fights and fighting each other while getting away with raping babies. A playbook as old as history can remember.
This leftist doesn't want capitalism or government.
Almost like they intentionally keep us divided
They don't really have to try anymore. Anyone who eats propaganda of one side wants nothing to do with the other.
good luck finding any
Yeah. True.
