We need a solution to this, because honestly the US just lost its democracy.
It's 1933.
Any ideas on ways out of this?
Community for further discussion: [email protected]
The solution is to have ranked voting and/or proportional representation.
Not a 2 party system where neither candidate is the peoples choice.
Organize. Use direct action to sabotage the conservative agenda. General strikes. Protests. Spicy protests.
I would add guerilla tactics. But, the main issue is that the US Constitution allow it. Freedom has a limit, once you passed the limit, you allow fascism.
Can you elaborate on how the US has lost its democracy? The democracy voted him in, in 4 years it will vote someone else in. Unless you genuinely believe that Trump has any power to change that.
Do you know Germany was democratic until they voted for Hitler?
I dunno, maybe democracy should have some limits like not allowing convicted Charleses Mansons with genocide in their agenda participate.
