'Repesentative democracy' is an oxymoron that functions to maintain minority (oligarch) rule.

It will take developing for to experience true life, liberty and happiness.

My hope is that we get to it before it's too late.

My government does not speak for me!

I COMPLETELY disagree with EVERY position (of which I am aware), both international and domestic, taken by the US government.

There are others, but these six books explain why (if truly want life, liberty and happiness as citizens of the USA), we must replace our current form of government with one that prioritizes .

1) The basic structure of the US government makes democracy impossible.

"We the Elites", By Robert Ovetz explains how the US constitution protects property FROM democracy.

2) Money is Power Corporate/Oligarch money completely undermines the people's power.

"Dark Money", by Jane Meyer explains the role of dark money in electoral politics.

"The Business of America is Lobbying", by Lee Drutman explains how money effects legislation.

3) Law and Enforcement

"Supreme Inequality" by Adam Cohen exposes the anti-democratic and pro-capital bent of the Supreme Court.

"Our Enemies in Blue" by Kristian Williams the power of the police state.

"Rise of the Warrior Cop" By Radly Balko exposes the radical militarization of policing in America.

Exploring the cosmos is valuable- it can increase our understanding of the physical universe.

Sending people to the moon however, is that advances the commercialization and !

Selecting minority astronauts is a joint government/ corporate marketing strategy to sell this to liberals.

'Representative democracy' is an oxymoron that functions to maintain minority (oligarch) rule.

We the people, will not experience life, liberty and happiness until we wrest control of nature and our lives from capital.

We're everywhere talking about the abortion pill, an important subject, but what we're not talking about is how corporations are creating inflation by scamming incredible profits, and working to undermine labor's slight gains.

This is their game: obfuscate; separate; and indoctrinate.

White Mississippi Lawmakers Approve Bill to Disenfranchise Voters in Majority-Black Jackson

In Mississippi, a supermajority of white Republicans in the state House of Representatives has approved a bill to establish a separate court system and an expanded police force within the city of Jackson, which is 80% African American.

If the legislation becomes law, it will place Mississippi’s public safety commissioner — who is currently white — in charge of an expanded Capitol Police force in Jackson.

Local judges would be handpicked by Mississippi’s Supreme Court chief justice, who is white. And prosecutors and public defenders would be selected by the state attorney general, who also is white.

A plan for your consideration:

Comprehensive will render the government superfluous.

@KentNelson

This is not about which 'party' is good and which is bad.

They are both bad- if you are among the 99% (not an oligarch)!

Both 'parties' are the minions of the oligarchs!

Here's an example:

ALL of the corporate media 'discussion', (on the Sunday morning political shows- in the US), about the "looming debt-ceiling crisis", completely pandered to the oligarchs by ensuring that not one mention was made of the obvious option to increase taxes on the rich (the 1%) to "balance the budget" (and not hurt the 99%).

'Representative democracy' is an oxymoron that functions to maintain minority (oligarch) rule.

We the people, will not have life, liberty and happiness until we take control!

"It is difficult to understand how anyone who has read the proceedings of the Federal Convention can believe that it was the intention of that body to establish a democratic government.

The evidence is overwhelming that men who sat in that convention had no faith in the wisdom or political capacity of the people.

Their aim and purpose was not to secure a larger measure of democracy, but to eliminate as far as possible the direct of the people on legislation and public policy."

--John F. Manley & Kenneth M. Dolbeare, "The Case Against the Constitution"

The case against the American Constitution

The Constitution is janky. It's antiquated. It's poorly designed. And it's falling apart before our very eyes.

1. The Constitution is anti-democratic.
2. The Constitution's separation of powers is a boondoggle.
3. The Constitution is basically impossible to fix.
