The best remedy for democracy is more democracy.
If you vote in one of the 32 states that don’t have the DIR&R, the DIRECT INITIATIVE, REFERENDUM AND RECALL, then instead of complaining join with those who are working to get them.
Just over a century ago, the Arizona Statehood Committee looked to eastern states and saw the corruption. They didn’t want it in Arizona and wrote the DIR&R into their proposed constitution. The voters made it part of the law and It works.
Seems like you're a leftist...
That is correct
@RoboGraham I’m to the left of most leftists; I’m a progressive.
@yvilletom Same here. I'm a socialist
@RoboGraham I hope you’re a democratic socialist, not a government-owns-everything socialist. I want employees to own the companies they work for. Take ownership away from the gambling addicts on Wall Street.
@yvilletom Yup, me too. Democracy at work. That is the sort of socialist I am. Not government ownership of everything.
