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.

    The Declaration of Independence states:

    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government

    Bold by me

      Systemic change is a different conversation than a new president. Personally I think that change can happen with modifications to the existing system. For instance, Ranked Choice Voting would give us a more diverse set of choices and doesn’t require throwing away things that do work.

        Right. It doesn’t have to mean everything goes. Keep what works, change what doesn’t. It’s not all or nothing.

      What’s your point? You think some pretty words will make it easier to pull off a successful coup and prevent the result from being worse than they are now?

        My point is that it is in the declaration of independence. The forefathers themselves said of their government isnt working, we have the right to change it.

        We dont have to be stuck with what we’ve got.

        And to the critics and trolls that may respond: No, I don’t have a solution or plan. It seems like so many people expect the result when I start talking about step 1.
