USA: WHAT’S BROKEN AND NOT BROKEN?
–“The Supreme Court, Department of Justice, Secret Service, Senate, Electoral College, Dark Money, Gerrymandering, are broken, and Citizens United broke it all.”– Brandon Unger

No. The electoral college preserves concurrency. The direct voting of the senate broke concurrency. If you don’t understand commonality (court, law) and concurrency (voting, legislation), then you don’t understand the government and why it expressly prohibits majoritarianism – majority tyranny.

No. The Supreme court is now UN-broken thanks to the movement to restore rule of law, that prohibits legislation from the bench, and restores the constitutional requirement for legislation and for constitutional amendment, vs abuse of the court.

No. Gerrymandering, when it produces all democrat and all republican districts correctly represents the preferences of the population, preserving concurrency. If it doesn’t do that then it’s in fact bad.

Yes, Justice, Secret Service, Senate, House, and Dark Money are evil and we need to end it.

But we’re not going to end it by violating the constitution, the natural law, and the lessons of all of history by majority rule and a race to the bottom.

Because there is no evidence that the majority won’t do the worst thing possible. In fact, it always does.

Fix the law and the constitution and then use the court, to fix everything else. We can do that. But we gotta show up in the millions to demand it. Because the special interests own the government.

I’ve done the work on the law, constitution, and policy.
But I’m not ‘millions’.
That’s up to you.
