It's not anyone's reality, it's reality, period. Yes, I've lived outside the US - I'm not even from the US. I've lived in 5 different countries. I don't really care how it seems. Ignorance, and offense at having that ignorance called out, is not a sufficient reason to burn a country to the ground and violate the rights of citizens. If it were up to that poor uneducated half of the US, most of them would push for the…

It’s your opinion they’re burning it to the ground but the fact they have survived, and will continue to survive, without your way of thinking and education, speaks volumes. Walk a mile in their shoes before you Insult and attack their way of life and thinking. that is the definition of ignorance in of itself

They survive because the non-ignorant half is propping them up while they are trying to drag them down.

> Walk a mile in their shoes before you Insult and attack their way of life and thinking

You're making a ton of assumptions here to make a point that has no bearing on mine.

Actually, yes! Thank you for asking. First I should point out how utterly ridiculous it is that with all the data we have access too, all our analytical capability and ability to model and simulation, there are not many people working on alternate systems, and anything people come up with is not taken seriously. People would rather poke holes in anything new, even if it has less problems than our current system. I do…

Go find a monarchy to live in then. These ideas are in direct opposition to what the ancestors of our nation were fleeing: - must act based on current science and knowledge (religious oppression) - positions of power more power to act unilaterally (monarchy) - appointed or offered to people from a qualified pool (nobility)

Nope, nothing I suggest is close to a monarchy; I'm very against such an anachronistic institution. You've gone out of your way to make a ton of ridiculous assumptions to build a worst case scenario here.

But, yes, religious oppression to a point is a good thing. At a minimum kids should not be allowed to be indoctrinated.

More power to act unilaterally does not equal complete power to act unilaterally i.e. a monarchy.

A qualified pool would be based on education, not heredity.

OK cause that makes sense they’re just sitting on their asses waiting for the good smart people like you to do something. Good argument there.

You stated you are in favor of rigging elections in order to prevent a person you don't want to be president to become president. Nothing you say on this topic is worth listening to.

Not quite. It's not just about personal preferences. It's about someone who is a clear and present danger to our way of life and the security of the country.

That is your personal opinion. A large potion of Americans feel differently than you. You may have strong feelings about this, but you aren't allowed to force an outcome on society because of it. You are advocating for fascism and rigged elections because you don't like a president's style.

What incorrect actions or non-actions would be corrected under this system? How do you prevent "for your own good" from becoming the bad thing.

They are not waiting for the good smart people to do something because they think the good smart people are corrupt, and believe stupid conspiracy stuff like q anon and trafficking children in pizza restaurant basements.

You seem to be remarkably out of touch.

Those Americans are wrong, and most deserve the 'deplorable' moniker they were given. Most of them shouldn't have a right to vote in the first place IMO.

And to downplay the issues as 'a president's style' is incredibly disingenuous.

By having checks and balances in place.

These are simply more opinions and do not justify your desire to enact fascism via rigged elections.

Then why does the FCC limit speech on air and in movies? Sounds like bs to me.

They don't? They regulate "time, place, and manner" of speech.

Without more details, that doesn't explain why the FCC might not apply such arguments to Alexa (or the news, or indeed anything). All speech occurs at some time and place, and in some manner.

Most of us here will be surprised by things in Law School 101 (I know I have been, but only because it being phrased like this came up one time in a Legal Eagle), and many (like me) aren't American and don't get the meme-sphere of assumed knowledge about the FCC or whatever, so a broader ELI-15 might be helpful.
