“It seems like every cycle we say that and we kind of mean it but this time I think we are in a category change where I believe the United States and the way that we think about ourselves as a nation has not been in danger like this since 1865. I think the only comparable moment to this was the Civil War,” he tells The New Abnormal co-host Danielle Moodie.
Oh cool, thought you were one of those, “we live in a republic durrr” people.
Yeah USA is an oligarchy fosho, but there’s still a long way down lol, which is what i meant by dismantling completely
I would only note that the people who do the “We’re a Republic, not a democracy” bit only say this because it justifies the repression and disenfranchisement. It’s a feature, not a bug, to them.
Even on the ground of their own choosing, most Americans do not actually want democracy, and they never did.
Yeah, agreed. Really irks me and I’ve been hearing it alot. Hence my earlier sarcasm.
I don’t think it’s most americans though, idt most are active in politics lol
I agree with you, it’s not most americans.
around 70% of Americans want single-payer healthcare, and under a democracy they would have it
I think the dorks aggressively defending the status quo online tend to be well-off, whether liberals or conservatives.
