the people who have studied how to solve these problems i feel like

And who decides who is the most educated? The people in power. Back to my original point.

It wouldn’t work.

people who are best in their field and identified without corruption

idk i'm going on what's on the top of my head but

And who decides who is identified without corruption? See, the problem is that people will always try to put their own guy into office. The electoral college at least tries to give as many people as possible a choice.

fbi probably?

And if the FBI is partisan?

FBI is definitely partisan.

idk just a thought that maybe who is being voted in shouldn't decide on what is binary

but dumb thought and went on for too long lol

That’s fine. It’s an interesting topic of debate.

Additional, solutions don’t always help everyone. I personally don’t believe there is such thing as a free lunch. Even if someone is a expert in there field doesn’t mean their solution will the best for everyone. This is why federalism is a big part of the US. We shouldn’t focus on who is in charge of the federal government to solve our people. We need to focus on our local leaders because they could provide a much more direct better solution, versus a large government one.

well true but i mean like i would take a economists word on economy rather than my own because i know next to nothing

and even that isn't binary but like

you see what i mean. some people vote without reasoning and at least a economist has good reasoning

Lol, ya if you put a traditional investor with a day trader in a room and ask which method is the best. It will turn into a dog fight.

Hey, I give free lunch! No one goes hungry at my workplace, I acquire bread and PB & J from donations.

I feel like people nowadays just look at the federal government as the only gov and that the fed gov is basically just the president. There are experts in the executive branch like in bureaucracies and in Congress like in committees and in those people that they pay patronage to in exchange for research. There are many many people involved in the fed government that aid in our leaders' decision making. We have both experts and civilians that represent the public so that we have representation of common civilians who know most about what issues citizens have, and we have the experts who can give possible solutions.

Idk much about government, but I'm currently taking an AP class on the ins and outs of gov. I forgot the name of the people that Congress asks for research from

congress has too much power and it breaks the checks and balances

I agree with that tbh

Maybe this is what it was like at the end of the Roman Republic?

People think that the president has so much power when really Congress has more power to make change within the country. Also I don't know, that's an interesting question

For their time, the Romans had a pretty good political system.

it's true that people focuses just on a single politician or a president and forgets that its a big machine with lots of people pushing buttons

Things would change to the better if people obsessed less about electing a certain individual and focused more on the full picture, starting with your local and state politicians

Yes, exactly!

I'm more about state gov than fed

usually these morons like AOC and ilhan omar only gets elected because people don't pay attention to their own districts and therefore a relative few misguided people gets to elect these coocoo's

New York screwed up.

Yeah

"I don’t like the Republican presidential candidate, so I’m gonna vote for a Democrat governor, even though his policies will ruin my state."

Cuz, y'know most logical thing to do nowadays smh

i don't know which is worse, their economic policys that will end any possibility for there to be a middle class, or their messed up social policys that is not pro women trans or minorities, just against white people and white men specifically

Both are just as bad.

idk man, when they start getting at the kids and try to convert them into being trans and tell them how bad they are for being born white and that the core family should be destroyed, i think id rather be poor for the rest of my life before putting my family through that

not worth all the ipads in the world

its kind of sad how its gotten to this. really really sad.

That crap has started at my school. They are masking it as "equity training". I emailed the president about it heheheh. I volunteered for their focus research group about school oppression so that their is some diversity of thought. My principal apologized for being white smh
