Why do we allow our politicians to refuse to do their job and just leave when they don’t want to deal with something?
Fucking make them go, listen, debate or kick their ass out.
I was extremely angry when whatever dipshit was photographed playing angry birds or some shit from behind during a legislative session. My mother (a conservative apologist) tried to excuse the behavior. I told her that if I’d done the same at any number of menial-labor jobs that I’d had, I’d lose my job. Fuck these people.
Fuck the system that enables them. Those conservative cunts want a civil war. I say let’s go, and finish them off properly this time, instead of letting them go back to their homes with their weapons and let them continue the last war behind the scenes for over a hundred years without anyone catching on again.
Look at Germany pre- and post 2nd World War.
Night and day.
Because we didn’t fuck around that time around.
It’s like when the government refuses to comment on something. Motherfucker you are a servant of the state, you are under our mandate. We tell you to speak, you fucking speak you dancing fucking monkey.
We need a new system. We can’t be running shit the same way in the AI age and a global population of, what, 9 billion?
Our old systems of governance did NOT scale.
Consider the population of the US in the 1700’s. We have about a hundred times that now, but the same amount of representatives.
That means that every representative today has power over a hundred times more people than originally when the constitution was written.
That changes everything.
No… The house of representatives has grown multiple times with the last permanent growth in 1913. It did temporarily grow by 2 when Alaska and Hawaii were made states, but went back to 435 after those states got their appropriations of representatives.
A lot of time the government refuses to comment on something because doing so would conflict with law, undermine an active criminal or civil case, or they are still working on it.
Saying “the government” in one broad general statement shows some degree of ignorance as to how the very systems you say “do not scale” work.
Yeah big parts of it are fucked up. A lot of politicians are power hungry sociopaths. But there are a whole lot of civil servants that work their asses off every day for below market rate pay in spite of how fucked up it is trying to make it better in a tangible way.
Maybe saying “the political system” might be more accurate than “the government” because a lot of the government is working pretty well despite the political system being so fucked up.
Because it’s what their constituents want them to do. The voters aren’t holding them to a higher standard and will re-elect.
Their constituents are completely unaware because they’re uneducated and struggling with keeping their homes and pay off astronomical medical debts due to that one ingrown toenail a decade ago.
All they know is that their eternal rulers since a hundred years blame someone else, and the power of the church cements their inclination not to rock the boat and “stick together”.
Who can blame them in a two party state? We have one alternative party more than Russia, or China.
