But what I’m saying is that anywhere else in the world, the American Democratic Party, at least based on their actions, would be considered center-right. That’s how far right the Republicans have dragged the country.
That said, if we want change, we need to vote Democratic, every race, every election, from POTUS to dog catcher.
@QasimRashid What I find difficult is: how can the US change? Short of a revolution, what is a realistic way to change the constitution to get rid of first past the post (which is the root of all these problems)?
@QasimRashid Funny, I was having a very similar discussion with my wife earlier today, explaining how the US constitution has coded 18th-century human rights (freedom of speech and religion, fair judicial system), but 19th-20th-century human rights (health, education) and 21st-century human rights (environment) are nowhere to be seen. That contrasts with the French constitution, that has all 3 generations in force.
@QasimRashid Beyond this rather than pouring $$$$$$ into bloated tuition and $$$ into healthcare that is the rock bottom of bang for buck, other developed nations use that money for other forms of commerce.
@QasimRashid Americas leadership, congress, state and local gov. is corrupt. They have put $$ and lining their pockets above humanity. It’s TIME that we throw as much $$ at EDUCATION and HEALTHCARE as we do our military !!
