If I am a #SingleIssueVoter it is for #Transparency, so we can #Democratically evaluate the impact of elections and legislation. But I think #RankedChoiceVoting could go a long way to keeping the worst people out of the Oval.
#Democratically
#poor #education #poorlyeducated #stupidity and #Ignorance gave #Trump the #power to #fuck up #USA and its #economy "hurray" #CongratulationsAmerica #congratulations all involved
#Hitler also was #democratically elected
1. come up with a plan #PlanDemocracy that works better #forthepeople
1.1. for example #politicians need to prove independent #wisdom #knowhow #expertise before being assigned a field #decision making #power
1.2. maximal #transparency

We have to be honest & pragmatic
With the USA reneging on support treaties Calling #Ukraine the aggressor threating #Canada #Panama #Greenland with annexation (invasion)
Forcing all the allies to act counter to #Trump & form an opposing alliance.
Calling #Putin and #Chairman #Kim mates while criticising #Trudeau #zelensky & other #Democratically elected leaders.
One thing is obvious
#USA is now a member of the #axis-of-evil #enemy-states and not part of the #free-world

Jon Stewart on the immediate and creeping #authoritarian #fascism. He advocates discernment in response.
"Unfortunately, as of now, [#Trump]'s pretty much just #democratically grabbing us by the pussy"
I think everyone should at least know the Ten #Strategies For #Manipulation Through Mass #Media by #NoamChomsky.
The so-called #elites have obviously understood these concepts & they have the means to bring compliant sycophants to #power #democratically.

🧵(5/12) The economy Obama inherited from Bush continued to crash and by November 2009, #Unemployment hit 9.9%.
#Obama & the #Democratically controlled Congress passed the "Nat'l Recovery act", which poured 3/4 of a Trillion dollars into the economy and unemployment finally started to fall.
By the time Obama left office in 2017, unemployment was back down to just 4.5%.
Hillary, who ran against Obama in 2008, was the presumed Dem frontrunner as VP #Biden deferred following the death of his son.
@YouGiveMeFever
ALSO:
Anyone thinking "we can just elect a #Democratically controlled #Congress" to keep T**** in check:
1) #Project2025 lays out how T**** can do everything by "#ExecutiveOrder", bypassing #Congress.
2) #SCotUS has placed the #Potus #AboveTheLaw and declared his actions "can't even be questioned."
So, it's Win the WH or it's all over. No "backup plan". #TheProsecutorVsTheFelon #Harris4President #Harris2024 #Buttigieg4VP
If the majority of #Americans decide
#democratically (funny)
to prefer #Dictatorship to #Democracy...
and it is a choice (the last one they will be able to make for a long time)
made Democratically
well
if that's what they want...
BUT
>the numbers DO NOT add up<
they have never 'add up'
#Trump NEVER had a #majority of votes
NEVER
not in 2016 too
Trump was NEVER 'chosen' by the 'majority' of #Americans
Trump it's not a #We the People 'choice'
so... Trump shouldn't be.
2024 #election is not just #JoeBiden vs. #DonaldTrump. It’s #democracy vs #autocracy.
1932 was the last #democratically held #election in #Germany until after #WWII. Let's not repeat the same #mistake in the #UnitedStates.

1953: Iran
"After the United States established the CIA in 1947, it began to use the agency to #overthrow or prop up foreign governments in a much more covert way. Before WWII, the United States didn’t try to hide its interventions in foreign governments. But with the onset of the Cold War, the United States became much more concerned about hiding its actions from the Soviet Union, Kinzer says.
"'In the 1950s, at the height of the Cold War, it was a priority for President Eisenhower and [Director of Central Intelligence] Allen Dulles to assure that America always had #PlausibleDeniability,' he says. 'Eisenhower was probably the last president who believed that you could do these things and nobody would ever find out.'
"In 1953, the CIA orchestrated a coup of Iran’s #democratically elected prime minister, #MohammadMosaddegh, in order to consolidate power with Iran’s shah (or king), #MohammadRezaPahlavi. Declassified CIA documents claim the coup—known internally as Operation Ajax—was designed to prevent possible 'Soviet aggression
in Iran, but Iranian-American historian Ervand Abrahamian has argued the real motivation had more to do with securing U.S. #oil interests."

Anti-globalisation has, thus, to mean complete #democratisation so as to make all social forces accountable to human #needs. In sum, the demand for a new #democratically constituted #regulation of #capital should be taken seriously. Though, it should be deepened and not restricted to legitimate the social engineering of discipline. It should first of all be taken on in the tradition of Enlightenment thought: Doubt everything! Second, it should be taken to its logical conclusion: the democratic organisation of socially necessary labour by the associated producers themselves, that is, the utopia of the society of the free and equal that #Marx summed up with one word: #communism.

Congressional #Republicans in the #US #House vote to bar #transgender #athletes from #womenssports.
The legislation has no chance of passage in the #Democratically controlled #Senate, and President Biden said he would veto the legislation if it reached his desk.

II is important to remember what the trial against Hong Kong pro-democracy activists is about: They are accused of organising #democratically in order to have a chance of winning a majority in #LegCo elections! How dare they! CCP must controll everything! https://on.ft.com/3JGa8Lm

#Students are making moves to ditch their #profiteering #landlords
"It currently has ten #coops under its umbrella. #SCH works with students who would usually struggle to get #housing. It aims to support them to create #democratically run student housing #cooperatives that remove what it calls 'profiteering landlords' and make #rents #affordable. Moreover, the basis for the idea is evidenced around the world."
#Republicans = Increased US #deficit
An equation that is always true in every possible interpretation.
Republicans first bill in the #HouseofRepresentatives increases the deficit by $114B, per Robert Reich @rbreich
Republicans first bill in the #HouseofRepresentatives takes money from the middle class and small business and distributes it to the wealthy and corporations.
Fortunately the #Democratically controlled #Senate has an industrial paper shredder waiting for #GOP House bills.
