which clearly shows that the general populace is not smart enough to be a reliable decider of policies

The ironic thing is, both the republicans and democrats are nearly the same

just differing on some issues

unless someone like Bernie wins it will just be the extension of the status quo

Democrats: Gun control, healthcare, palestine, racial issues

Republicans: no gun control, lowering taxes, israel

Parties are a natural emergence from establishing coalitions and Washington is not the authority on democracy. And this is the issue. America is a highly capable country as is. Very little needs to be changed

The problem really seems to be representative democracy

it almost looks like Republicans just want to undo what dems do

Minor adjustments

@..... how so?

but Republicans wont undo things that may make people call them a nazi

which is why trump cucked on the lgbt

@Scipio Americanus It just encourages politicians to pander to people

Representatives assist in allowing the mob to make more educated decisions

I think a direct democracy (for a small community, obviously) would be better

true, but you also need some of that

@..... direct for small communities sure

direct for the nation?

absolutely not

Of course not

Small communities, small problems exactly

ya, instead of these "commissioners"

Representative democracy on a mass scale encourages pandering

Is that bad?

@CronoSaturn to some extent yes

If I could change America, I would go about removing several amendments like letting women vote

It seems that’s the desired outcome. A servant of the people

@PunishedMuskovy do you take cold medicine?

changing it so while it is still what the nation was founded upon, it isnt retarded

@Scipio Americanus no?

Occasionally a cold sinus pill for allergies

Removing 50% of your representation? Not a great plan

@CronoSaturn Id like to restore the traditional family

women being mothers

would I let blacks vote?

Hot take: *yes*

I don’t think women voting changes that and presumably you agree you can’t force a woman to be your tradwife

She would actually have to want that

If she doesn’t, she’d be a shit tradwife

I am focusing on the part of minimizing the fools
