Appreciate your reply. I’m no fan of Biden but he’s a million times better than the guy that clearly tried to subvert the will of the people. Without one man, one vote we have nothing.
Yeah, in this day and age of much easier communication compared to 1776, I’d like the idea of constituents at least having the ability to vote on policy of interest. Even though I don’t always agree with majority opinion, I continue to respect it.
I like the term representative democracy because it implies that politicians should represent their constituents. Getting elected is not a license to vote your personal opinion - it’s to represent every one of your constituents. So if you get elected by one vote margin, you should vote in the middle. I know that’s not reality but it should be.
Don't forget that Trump is now a convicted rapist, as confirmed by the judge in his E Jean Carroll case. Close to half of the US population is willing to vote for a convicted rapist. Now tell me democracy is not in peril in the United States with a straight face.
Feel free to be pedantic, but my point remains: historically and currently capitalism strives for infinite growth and cares not for resource limitations.
Now, can capitalism serve both purposes? Of course. Technological improvements developed by capitalism can (and must) improve environmental and resource impacts of population needs. Does it currently? Not nearly enough. How to direct capitalism to become a better steward for the planet and its resources is a separate topic and discussion. OP asked a question that I was answering without getting into the weeds.
As convicted by a jury of his peers (in a civil case) and confirmed by the presiding judge. Never again should we mention his name without the words “convicted rapist”.
Refer this to that DOJ and get back to doing your jobs. So sick of this theatrical “they’re all the same” BS.
People, pay no attention to “allegations” of wrongdoing. If you just keep score based upon convictions and plea bargains, it is clear which team is committing 90% of the crimes.
iCloud private relay is highly underrated for privacy imo. You won’t hear a lot of agreement with me here, but it’s the best form of a privacy vpn. When you use a third party vpn you still have to trust the vpn company to respect your privacy whereas private relay, by definition, does not allow Apple or anyone else to scrape your data.
Your claim to be leftist does not strengthen your opinions strength. I want an echo chamber of users with empathy. That by definition excludes all on the right. Why the fuck should I care about the opinion of a sociopath.
