But I think the only and actual problem is education. The rest are just consequence. It’s not for nothing than when the rest of the world thinks about an american, they see a fat dumbass bigot idiot. I know a lot of people are not like that, but it does not matter. As a country, this is how everybody sees you.
And for once, fix the root cause of the problem, not the symptoms.
I’d argue even with education, your defacto two party system still prevents true change/progress. Not sure if better education would be enough to change this.
The two party system worked for a long time because both sides were committed to the idea that a functional government was a good thing.
A multiple party system didn’t save Germany from Fascists. When enough citizens decide their fellow citizens are the problem decent government becomes impossible.
a UNIPARTY, the gop and dinos are a coalition. not even a true 2 party system. DInos are allowed to throw people a bone once in a while so they dont form an uprising or take over the party
I think the education is a symptom of a deeper problem still, and that is corporate entities owning significant parts of the governing process, through lobbying, campaign financing and a rotating door of government positions and coproate advisers.
They want an uneducated population, because that is how they get a greater and greater share of the say in what the government does each election cycle. Getting Citizens United through was one of the worst they accomplished in recent years, but it won’t end there.
Oh yes, but I still think this is only possible because people are uneducated. Then, sure, it becomes a feedback loop. I have no idea how to fix USA and I think at that point it is beyond repair.
Number one!

I wouldn’t say it worked. It was barely good enough while being quiet bad. Switzerland took usa’s system and made it better, so much better. Anno 1848
well, at least people will be able to conceptualize this is a completely stupid system.
Right now they have the sport-fan mentality. Us vs Them, Me vs You, Good vs Bad. Baby view of the world.
(and it’s not my de-facto :) )

Moron. Go educate yourself. You’re responsible for all the unnecessary evil and thousands of murders trump has brought upon this world.

Step 1: Reform the Supreme Court (term limits, mandatory retirement age of 65, etc). Step 1.5: Abolish Citizens United.
