What is your suggestion?

Isn't it by design? Divided we fall and something wants us divided...
 
The US political system is broken. The executive government can't get anything done without long winded/series of court reviews and injunctions effectively granting the courts veto power over simple governance authorities like revoking/granting a foreign aliens visa. The executive branch could spend 6 to 12 months worth of litigation simply trying to deport a single illegal alien from the country.

And Congress can't get anything done either because of the filibuster.

So effectively Americans keep voting for specific policy changes & never receive those policies because nobody has the power to do anything. Neither the executive(neutered by the courts) & neither the majority in Congress(neutered by the filibuster).

This means the entire electoral process is just a waste of time in the grand scheme of things, because the people will never achieve the policies they vote for. It seems increasingly that the Presidency is becoming more and more of a symbolic office in this country. And Congress is totally gridlocked(by the filibuster) wherein nothing can be achieved.

EDIT: I am not interested in discussing your preferred political party. I'm interested in discussing the systemic paralyisis in the US political system.
Yup, I agree. I'd start with getting the money out of the system. All campaigns should have strict spending and donation limits, nothing from corporations, limit what elected officials can make with their side hustles.

Someone said the democrats are the party of the corporations and the republicans are the party of the oligarchs and this is as good of explanation as I have seen. No one seems to be looking after the regular people.
 
I always notice the system is "broken" when Democrats are out of power. The Democratic Party is the single most corrupt and disgusting force in American politics and has been for decades. Paired with the MSM, foreign entities, Entertainment, Education, and bureaucracies and we have an Orwellian Authoritarian force that is the problem. Trump is a solution. He may not be the best solution, but not bad. Gutting the bureaucracy and all the government funded Leftist causes was a great start. For that alone... voting for Trump is worth it.
 
Yes it has different benefits even now days built into it. One of the prime things is preventing a total and bad democracy where more populated areas rule completely over other areas. Which despite what liberals in those areas believe would be a reality bad idea and end up destroying the US. We are the United States not one big federal state like most other countries.

Of course we can always look for ways to improve things and the way we are set up we can and have changed.
How come every single other democracy today doesn't use an electoral college hasn't destoryed itself?

You don't even understand what the electoral college does. It doesn't lead to less populated areas having more power, it leads to battleground states having undue power and attention at the expense of both populated and less populated states.

And every democracy today is a federal state, again you don't seem to have any idea of what you're talking about. You don't logically think the US is the best system in the world, you have faith that it is because you worship it.
 
What due process? Foreign aliens have no right to remain in America. It's a privilege to remain in the US and that privilege may be withdrawn at any time. What we are seeing is judicial tyranny against the will of the American electorate.
How do you determine someone has no right to remain in America? Due process, which the courts have to carry out.

Congrats on failing basic American civics.
What does uncapping the House achieve? More worthless bureacrats living off taxpayer dollars? We should shrink the house by a factor of 3.
It brings representatives closer to their citizens (aka the represent fewer) and it reduces the massive disparity between show many citizens a representative traditionally represented and how many they have to today.
You have no idea what you are talking about vis a vis China.
The US' unemployment rate is 4.2%, while China's unemployment rate is around 5%. Our youth unemployment rate is under 10%, China's is about 15%. The reason China has fewer homeless encampements is that they have millions of rural poor who can still afford to purchase housing. In the US, we have fewer swathes of poverty but property is much more expensive, so they go homeless.

China has performed impressively in recent decades, but it's not a shining star with no flaws like you portray it.
 
Start by getting money out of politics by putting a limit of a few grand on political donations.

I'd consider a system where people are voted in to do specific jobs and stay as long as people are happy with the job they're doing. It's never made any sense to me that the entire populace could think that say the foreign secretary was doing a great job but still have to vote for them to lose the job because they didn't like the party overall.

It would be very dysfunctional to do that. We already had that problem when presidents/VPs or governors/lt governors are split tickets.

There's nothing stopping leadership positions being kept on when a new executive wins, and the civil state underneath also stays on. At least for now.

Is that why Trump won't release the epstein files?

Gtfo with your bs lol. You're on a sports team. And you have the audacity to criticize the other team while the entire sport is dirty to begin with.

Don't deflect with more of your bs. If Trump is indeed the better vote, when can I expect Schumer or schitt or Pelosi or Clinton or cia or pentagon officials to get locked up? When can I expect epstein files to be released? When can I expect epstein :eek::eek::eek::eek:philes to be locked up?

The whole reason you don't like it is because the left and the democrats don't get complete power per the highly populated areas.I know why the senate and the electoral college was formed. I said the side benefit of the electoral college was protecting rural areas and states. However the senate was set up to protect the less populated states and that's the way it should be.

We are not and were never intended to be a federal state which again protects the less populated states and I support that. That is one of the reason I believe we h have the best system. States rights are protected as long as it doesn't violate the constitution even if I might disagree with how it works out sometimes.

No, the reason I don't like it is that it provides perverse incentives and distorts elections.

It doesn't benefit rural states, if you look at where candidates spend most of their time, it benefits battleground states. What evidence do you have that it benefits rural states?

And can you explain to me how states rights are not protected in other democracies? You just keep tossing out statements you don't understand.

Well they wouldn't have to be assigned to a party, you're just voting for the best people to do the job

Yup and Trump is in on it all. Huge L. I expected the DEMs and Harrisvto go full retard. Trump is acting straight out of the Biden playbook.

My fear originally was a false flag assassins attempt. Blame Iran to start a war. Trump just went full retard. The sock puppet accounts are out.

Respect to jones and tucker and others calling out this fuck shit

Are you sure the people have the knowledge to vote in the best secretary of state or head of treasury? Most people don't even understand how those fields work.

You could have to take a test to qualify to vote for each area.

The senate protects rural by giving equal representation. Those non battle ground states still have a voice its not perfect but it works for the most part. What other democracy have states rights in their constitution.

Bicameral legislatures are quite common, where the US departs form a lot of other democracies is it makes the non-proportional one the higher house to avoid entrenched interests bogging down legislation. Which is what happens in the US with the filibuster and kingmaker senators (people who can seize the swing vote position needed to do anything).

And again, most federal systems reserve rights for the states. You're acting like the US stumbled on something no other country did. Canada and Germany are obvious examples of constitutions that delineate state rights.

For someone who claims to have traveled the world, you sure have never learned much of anything about foreign politics.

The big difference is we believe and the constitution doesn't give you any rights it only limits what the government can restrict of theses rights.

Im not claiming to be an expert on other countries government. I know how ours works and read about other governments especially when they restrict their people.

I have look at and read about other countries and I listen to talk radio from other countries when its in English or translated. That doesn't make me an expert but I know this that I like said this is the only place I want to live. Like I said I have traveled and most places I went they were over all happy with where they lived. Well in Europe anyway.

You're describing literally every constitution in existence.

The fact that you think the US isn't a democracy or that the rest of the world doesn't' have federal systems or state's rights is pure ignorance. Yet you're so confident as to claim the US system is the best in the world lol.

Pure comedy.
