Hello - Just thought I'd drop in after a few months away and relay an ugly little truth:

-Wealthy elites bought the White House-

Yes, this is 100% correct - - buy why is this happening? It's happening because 7 months ago we had a general election, and in that election:

1. Millions of minorities had serious misgivings about Trump - but voted for him anyway.

2. Mill ...[text shortened]... m anyway.

"In a Democracy, people get the leaders they deserve" Joseph de Maistre (1753 - 1821)

Now change Trump to Biden, different?

Of course, you goober.

Republicans have always been the voice of fear.

Democrats have always been the voice of hope.

This is the truth of the matter in a nutshell.

To accept Trump is like a six-inch valley through the middle of your soul, but you do it anyways, because he has conned you into fearing your brothers. You buy everything he says, even the darkest bits, because he shows you your own fear, but he magnifies it, until you do, and believe, whatever he wants you to, which is mainly throwing your own countrymen under the bus.

Your shame should be as endless as your fear.
You have no more room for hope. That is now your burden, yet you think it is a gift.

You've been conned, wholly and completely.

The fear is for women and children and the fabric of society for the masses and not a tiny group of sexualized people. Tell me does you little group of lgbtq peeps promote self thought and acceptance of within these boundaries or is it a hive mentally with no room for the individual? Does your group promote violence and murder along with hate and racism?

SERVICES!!!!!! A code word. Service me! For free of course! A code word for free stuff, gimme it, don't you know? Look at Moonbus showing us his real self. Creepy.

No limits to service for you dependents. Next you will want us (the real taxpayers) to pay off your car loan.
Tell us some services that you think would be cool, govt cost notwithstanding. We need an interesting post.

Healthcare will become a public utility like electric or water. 😆

No, the things to be voted on are put up by the politicians, and the people vote.

The people have no initiative to put things up for vote.

If everyone voted, the process would be MORE fair, not chaos.

But people who are not poor, they benefit from status quo.

The Swiss have two provisions in their constitution which redress oversights in the U.S. constitution: referendum and volksinitiative.

1. A referendum on any legislation the govt. passes can be forced by acquiring a certain number of signatures (a few thousand, in a population of 8 million). This is non-optional, if the required nr. of signatures is presented; the govt. must put the legislation up for a plebiscite, and if the voters say 'nay', then the legislation is rescinded.

2. Volksinitiative: again, if the required nr. of signatures is secured, then the voters (usually represented by some ad hoc committee of lawyers) propose new legislation. This too is non-optional--the govt is required to present the proposed new legislation to a plebiscite. The result of the plebiscite is binding. This was weakly formulated in the U.S. Constitution as a "right to petition the govt for redress of grievances."

The first is a significant brake on runaway govt legislation or executive orders, and would effectively hinder anyone like Trump/Musk from taking a chainsaw to social services. The second is an effective means of forcing the govt to sit up and listen to widespread public concerns (such as effective immigration policy, a problem which has been festering and unresolved in America for decades).

Direct democracy in action.

Some US states are more accepting of this than others. Some other states legislatures take a dim view of this, saying they are the lawmakers, the public should respect that. There are referendums and voter initiatives, but generally the mechanism for this is fairly weak and subject to how the state legislature supports it, if at all.

This is the basic problem with states' rights. Just because you are a US citizen does not mean you will be heard and respected. It often depends on what state you live in.
