I have never had less faith in our political parties and leaders than I do now

I have never had more belief that they will do whatever they can to hold on to power, their order, and continue wars both domestic and abroad

The system is entirely broken and beyond repair. Many hoped Obama would create a new path, or Bernie, or for some even Trump. That didn’t happen.

We as Americans must choose a new path forward. What tools will we use? How will we come together to seek truth and collaboration? How will we upend power from the 1%, and return power to the people and overcome political dogma?

Is there a way?

Build tools that replace the state. nostr:npub16zxfxy5ltnp992gp006jlyy9qc93qanzpfvv66fznvc7xul0ej0suk5dzc has done some amazing work on this front. See his paper on replacing state courts: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1O7BlWJKdNNyjorkaoCS7dY_6k6Y1lvdp0B4EH60JC08/edit?usp=drivesdk, I found it extremely uplifting.

Its about returning power to the people and getting people in office who say fuck the Status Que.

I often wonder why the USA government is still operating on model that was created in the 1800s.

90% of what the Senate and congress does today should be put up for a national vote.

I wonder, How would have the Patriot Act fared in a national vote?

Our world is much smaller now than it was in the 1800s.
