I don’t understand how anyone thinks an 81 year old person should be leader of a nation. And will they ever produce good stuff instead of what they’ve been trying and failing to do for so many years and it hurts the people.

When will they help the citizens instead of funding the military and fancy projects that waste money, cutting taxes for billionaires and raising them for the poor, cut social security, cut medicare, cut this, cut that, more money to the military.

So messed up.

I don’t know good places to find accurate news.

    If a project just isn’t working, scrap it and start over.

    And my comment about news was a request for good sources.

      So I’m not in disagreement with you that it’s clear the project has at some point gone off the rails, and it might sound easier to just wipe the slate clean and start over. But there is no way that happens without a revolution or civil war either preceding of following that attempt, and that won’t even guarantee we get something good.

      We’re in an extremely tight spot. Things must change drastically and quickly to avoid catastrophe but unless we’re really really careful we’ll end up in a somehow worse situation than even currently

      OK, are you starting the revolution? Or waiting for someone else.

      I’ll point out that amendments to the constitution will never me made positively and peacefully while states with their land vote more than people.

      “Starting over” a country tends to result in a lot violence and bloodshed and quite often makes things worse.

      The fact of the matter is that, for many many people, dealing with a somewhat shitty status quo is a much more attractive option than taking a gamble that a revolution doesn’t result in catastrophe, and you can’t really say they’re wrong for that.

        Scrap what doesn’t work and keep what does.

        It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. And it doesn’t have to be violent.

        I mean, good luck with the tension between D and R, but companies can form and grow successful without blood or death (**there are some…).

        Using the creation and growth of a company as my analogy is meant to remind that peolle work together all the time without bloodshed* to create great things.

        Government could be that way if people cooperated and listened to each other.
