    I'm convinced that what we often perceive as representative democracy might actually be a carefully crafted facade. These systems, while designed to appear and function as true representative democracies, seem to fall short. They are more inclined towards safeguarding the interests of the wealthy and powerful, particularly within political parties. This approach subtly undermines the genuine representation of the populace's needs and voices, raising questions about the authenticity of our democratic processes.

      @gavinshickle1814 4 місяці тому +4

      Well the first problem is believing this is a democracy. This is a republic that uses a democratic process to choose leaders. The second problem is the concerted effort to concentrate power in the federal government. There are many issues that can, and should, be handled within the individual states. But too many people are not willing to accept that everyone is not forced into the same mold. They can't tolerate that Georgia might be different from California. Even though this would provide people a greater chance to live somewhere that is more in line with their particular views. But this is something that is never discussed.

    Pelosi was just asked in a press conference about stock trading for members of congress should be illegal.
    Of course she answered it's a free market and they should be allowed to participate. Pelosi is the best stock trader in the world btw.
    Coincidently she trades a lot of stocks of companies which benefited from some government regulation or subsidies.

      Aunt Nan is an oligarch, and 90% of *all* the congress critters do this. Lori Bo also out performed the S&P last year. Both parties are stacked with corporate goons, and there are a dozen other corporate goons ready to take their place if We the People ever fall for the term limit trap. There are very few people in government, local, state, or federal, who are not looking out for themselves far more than they are the Common Good. I challenge anyone to name one person who fits that description, and has an R after their name
