We are presently living through the worst-case scenario of the administrative state given to a bad actor. It gives me great pause. Is there any way forward without dismantling it?
If hardening our democratic institutions meant becoming a Pocket Constitution person and advocating for the rights of gun ownership, could you do it?
@kyle I see no point
@mattiem which part, for what reason?
@kyle I see no point in making concessions with a group that will not cooperate, to defend a document that has proven to be insufficient
@mattiem @kyle I’ve been saying for years now that I think the current version of the US can’t be patched anymore and it’s time to start fresh on the next version. Articles of Confederacy were the early 1.x, Constitution and the amendments make up 2.x; time for whatever comes next.
@jamie_blumberg @kyle I think it’s educational that the US constitution is not used as a blueprint for any fledgling democracy (as far as I understand)
