Absolutely terrifying view into the mind of a progressive who sees little worthwhile in a constitutional government that would not give power to their progressive positions.

The rigging of American politics

Political systems depend on legitimacy. In America, that legitimacy is failing.

By Ezra Klein

FTA:
...
American politics is edging into an era of crisis. A constitutional system built to calm the tensions of America’s founding era is distorting the political competition between parties, making the country both less democratic and less Democratic.
...
This Court will rule on the constitutionality of gerrymandering, voter ID laws, union dues, campaign finance, Obamacare, and more; that is to say, they will rule on cases that will shape who holds, and who can effectively wield, political power in the future.
...
If these dynamics were at least split — if the geography of the House boosted Democrats while the Electoral College leaned toward Republicans — perhaps the dissatisfaction would be diffused, or the dueling interests of the parties would permit a compromise.

But that’s not the case. America’s growing zones of anti-democracy buoy Republicans, who, in turn, gain more political power to write the rules in their favor. As the left realizes it’s playing a rigged game, it’s becoming determined to rewrite those rules itself. If they succeed, the right will see those rewritten rules as norm-defying power grabs that need to be reversed, matched, or exceeded. It is difficult to imagine, from here, the construction of a political system both sides believe to be fair.

“At some point, people will get so angry that they will either talk about secession or start engaging in more direct measures, whether it takes the form of rioting or violence,” says Sanford Levinson, a constitutional law professor at the University of Texas Law School.
...
But another way of thinking about our founding compromises is to think about the fears that led to them. The threat to the United States of America has always been disunity. At the time of the founding, the strongest and most politically important identities were state identities, and the central tension was between those who feared the (white, male) public and those who trusted it, and so we built a system meant to calm those divisions.

Today, the strongest and most politically important identities are partisan identities. We don’t talk about big states and small states, but about red states and blue states.
...
It is not difficult to imagine an America where Republicans consistently win the presidency despite rarely winning the popular vote, where they control both the House and the Senate despite rarely winning more votes than the Democrats, where their dominance of the Supreme Court is unquestioned, and where all this power is used to buttress a system of partisan gerrymandering and pro-corporate campaign finance laws and strict voter ID requirements and anti-union legislation that further weakens Democrats’ electoral performance.
...
Faris goes on to recommend a slew of ways Democrats can “fight dirty,” by which he means rewrite the rules of American politics so Democrats have an even chance, or better than that.

He recommends statehood for DC and Puerto Rico, as well as breaking up California into seven states, each with two senators; packing the Supreme Court with more justices so liberals can crack its conservative majority; replacing winner-take-all elections in the House with ranked-choice voting and expanding the size of the body to 870 members; passing a raft of voting rights reforms; and more.
...
This is where we are now. Imagine where we’ll be if four of the next five presidential elections are won by a Republican who lost the popular vote, if geography and gerrymandering locks Democrats out of anything but fleeting House majorities for the next 20 years and persistent Republican dominance in the Senate leads to a 7-2 conservative Supreme Court that tosses out Democratic laws and buttresses the GOP’s electoral advantages.

On the other hand, if Democrats take power and run some version of the Faris/Avenatti playbook in 2020 or 2024, there will be an equal and opposite reaction among Republicans; they will see their Supreme Court majority ripped from their grasp, their chances in House elections fall, Democratic Senate majorities as far as the eye can see. What will they do in response?
...

If it isn’t owned by the Hoser gubmint it’s significantly controlled by them. Neil You g’s dad was a legend in Canada. He was a cohost of Hockey Night in Canada, which back in the day was watched by 188% of every Canadian family because hockey is all they have.

Imagine a 2020 where Trump wins the electoral vote, the popular vote, and 50 states.

The Democrats want to play the old "If you're losing the game, change the rules" trick. The problem for them is that not only is Trump winning, not only are the Republicans winning, but the people are winning. The public will have little appetite for changing the rules when they're winning and only the Democrats are losing.

Heard it my whole life...interesting reading on those Creeks, the governor and company sent for Chief McIntosh to buy property he went to Atlanta, sold their land and the Creeks killed him when he got home...

***If ((THEY)) are against Saudi Arabia in this case, then Saudi Arabia (the ruling junta at least) must assuredly be the good guys***

I understand... but perhaps there are no good guys involved here. This is not heaven, nor Mt. Olympus. S0r0s wants to (at least) weaken Israel and remove the U.S. as a super power; Iran is a major puzzle piece in this strategy, and SA is the US's buffer against Iran. S0r0s managed to use the Arab Spring to establish the Mus Bro in a number of countries, especially Egypt.

The American people could learn much about freedom from the people of Egypt; over 30 million Egyptians took to the streets, shutting down the country, and thwarted the Mus Bro takeover of Egypt. However, Obama abandoned Iraq - sacrificing all those wonderful American lives lost and maimed - and turned it over to Iran.

The bear in the kitchen is SA - and the de-powering of the Wahabi Muslim sect (essentially pro-terror: Blind Sheik, etc.) Also, SA is drawing closer to Israel in its growing conflict with Iran... all anathema to S0r0s.

Thus I tend to see S0r0s behind all this uproar where other greater uproars semm to have pased nearly unnoticed. 🤔

We have a special place picked out for GS.
Really special***

Well, I sure hope they find that place soon before S0r0s destroys everything.
