I guess I'm spoiled by my (yet working) european liberal democracy. No idea it got that bad that you need to worry about such things...

I.e. do the opposite of what happens in MURICA.

Why no phone? Also is it still that bad with CoVid, that even outside a mask is necessary?

Honestly unfortunately mostly unrealistic: a systemic chage towards deliberative democracy (not just USAs broken electoral democracy) would be the best according to most political science. It's (way to) slowly happening in some European states (so the right shift may reverse that trend again). This indirection vie simple voting tends to lean towards populism and manipulation. Which got unfortunately incredibly obvious in the presidential election...

As "hardcore-left" as I am, I just cannot fathom, being so dumb to not vote "to show the dems". The policies of bad Republican presidents hurt us till today. Think about Reagan vastly accelerating the gap between rich and poor, or Nixon with his failed war drugs.

They also dropped IIRC: 74 - > 71

But that doesn't help if the dems lose 15 M...

Not sure if I'd categorize these as sane...

It has, as voter turnout could be significantly better. It's not yet clear what it is, but so far it doesn't look very good.
