Kamala Harris' first stop on the "107 Days" book tour was interrupted multiple times Wednesday night by protesters denouncing Israel’s war in Gaza, but the former vice president pressed on with calm.
They should invent some kind of an intermediary layer between the voters and the elections to ensure that demagoguery and sensationalism cannot prevail. That would fix everything.
I agree on the sarcasm of it not working one bit, but that layer should also have been completely irrelevant, the real problem is that Trump is a sociopathic criminal that was never arrested for his crimes. Not even when he attempted a coup.
A fucking traitor, who was allowed to run again, despite it was clearly illegal, and he should have been in prison.
Seen from Europe the problem is not just that Trump was elected, it’s the complete failure throughout American society to stop him.
The judicial failed, congress failed, and the people failed.
Also the democratic process within the Republican party failed, where they have turned away completely from traditional Republican, American and democratic values. AND we saw similar problems in the democratic party with Biden not stepping down as promised, and back when Bernie was running.
Problem is that the entire system AND the majority of the population are toxic, and Trump is allowed to act way outside the scope of his presidential powers, and clearly contrary to the constitution without being stopped.
The roundup of immigrants and detainment without seeing a judge, and being sent to prison in foreign countries alone, is violation of the constitution on 3 counts. Yet it is allowed to continue!?!?!
Hundy p. Aside from the sanity-thin norms holding back the American empire from pure naked tyranny, the whole thing was built on slaves and stolen land, and still is through the 13th amendment.
I was one of the kids who was raised to an ideal of inclusivity and egalitarianism that has never existed in the real America. I left, and now find myself an immigrant from a place that doesn’t seem to exist. Sometimes I feel like a cryptid or something.

Absolutely true, but in the 70’s at least there was hope, things seemed to generally move in the right direction more often than not.
Then it slowed down with Reagan, and with Trump it has all gone to shit.
All countries have problems with racism, but no other democracy has as big a social and cultural debt as USA.
You mean the electoral college? It would probably have worked if we hadn’t broken it by choosing electors by popular vote instead of having them appointed by state legislatures.
Maybe. Hard to say what would have worked at this point, without sounding like we were caught by Scooby Doo. “It would have worked too, if it weren’t for you meddling oligarchs!” Rome tried reforms too, but it was too late.
