zackster For anyone awake and brain damaged enough, my father is about to give a lecture on the future of Liberal Democracy link
SM001 Amps It’s America. Anything is possible. I wouldn’t be surprised if they started a war just to avert eyes away from their current domestic shit show. Stick an ’aul “win” on the board.
303abuser zackster tough to argue with that. the democrats are just as responsible for the current state of affairs as the republicans. the first step is getting rid of citizens united, limit campaign spending and contributions, and force transparency and accountability. none of that will actually happen though and the next trump will be smarter and significantly worse for the entire world.
jonattonyeah zackster I don’t understand what he means here. Is he saying that given this is simply the first time that it’s bad? Or that the pressure is bad? I’d guess it’s the former but his phrasing is terrible.
Amps Do you American types think you will get any constitutional changes after this election, regardless of Trump’s reaction and behaviour after the result? Feel like you should get a few things down in writing before the next guy comes along.
zackster Gotta expand the court. Nothing will meaningfully change, for the better, unless that happens first. I do think Joe may at least try to reset the balance of power, which is hardly what is needed, but it’s at least something.
