How? Probably not via voting in 2028 or holding a sign. As in, not within the pre-existing failing/failed system. This one isn't gonna recover.
After the people are in charge of the smouldering ashes, you can start from scratch! The one upside. Assuming USA doesn't just submit passively and end up like Russia with a broken people for centuries, which is what I'm expecting.
Copy Canadians. Including the limits on campaign length, so your news cycle isn't so endlessly exhausting. No wonder 1/3rd have totally tuned out. IMO scrap FPTP like we didn't have the balls to do.
I guess that's the crux of the question: does it really require smoldering ashes to get this done? Entrenched power is obviously tough times, but within the system we currently have what are the possibilities?
Not sure anyone really knows yet. I'm a pessimist by nature, so there's blind spots and I freely admit them.
