This is what you get when you elect a mad king. "I love the inflation" - Donald Trump.

Yep, no difference detected here, unless you have eyes or a brain.
We are not at a point as a country to have a serious discussion about governance. The administration in charge (as recently as yesterday) still blames Biden for issues happening on their watch, even though he hasn’t been in officer for 16 months now. This is not an administration serious about governing, and until we have an administration serious about governing and taking responsibility for their actions, we will c…
The problem runs deeper than the current administration. Voting doesn't work. The Biden administration isn't the antidote to our problems.
It works fine to accomplish what it is intended to do: Pick a worker to hire.
The problem is that many assume it ends there and the employee will magically go off and do great things. That is not how it works. If you've ever worked with employees before, you'll know full well that you have to regularly communicate with them to keep them on track. Even if the most stellar employee in the world trying to do everything right will never be a mind reader.
When was the last time you spoke to the person you hired for the job of representative? I expect for most reading this, the answer will be never. That is what doesn't work.

You can merely lie and spend money and get elected and then do the opposite. Rinse and repeat.

Representatives in ancient democracies were selected by sortition, which is based on statistics, not popularity or money.

The ancient Athenians knew that elections favored the rich. That’s why they incorporated selection by lot into their system. Our modern understanding of democracy has fetishized elections to the point that some voters might see hundreds of them in a year, including for positions that shouldn’t ever be elected (e.g. judges), while still having little to no actual civic power.

> It's almost as if the choice between the two parties is no choice at all. Hi, I live in Minneapolis/Saint Paul. You may have heard about what the Republicans in the federal government did here a couple of months ago! The only appropriate response to your sentiment would, rightly, get me banned from this website. Please think before you speak.

Hm, which wars did the last president start? How many war crimes did he happen to do? How many times was he mentioned in the Epstein files? Yep, no difference detected here, unless you have eyes or a brain.
