And the alternative was Hillary "The Abortionist" Clinton who should have been indicted but skated under Barry and who had been selling out the country for years. Trump was a no-brainer choice.
Actually the alternative was vote for anyone else, try and get a better system in place so that people actually get CHOICE when they vote.
Feel free to postulate such a "better system".
To me, its like eating a food thats nasty...
and like...im not a better cook to know how to make that food less nasty
but i know theres some cooks with the solution
(bad analogy cuz i can actually cook, quite sexily : 0 )
I like what Churchill said
"
Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.…"
The problem, IMO, isn't our form of government but human nature. Human nature is why Socialism always fails. Human nature is why "Democracy is messy". Human nature is the reason for all of the bad things in our society but also for all of the good things.
I feel like we can do way better, but I dont have the how unfortunately.
Jaques Fresco has some very intriguing ideas, and personally I dont even believe in Nations.
Persuit of happiness and greed are intertwined...
for example, travelling the world makes me happy....and jet skis do, too.
eating briscuit.....makes me happy..
most things, aside from human to human relationships....that make me happy cost money.
not all...but...
most.
and even with the human to human relationships making me happy? im happy to see them happy......so, more wealth.
once we can think of a way outside of that, where happiness can be a mere circumstance of existence instead of something you have to pursue??
until then.
its gunna be majorly flawed, designed for many who will lose. (and win, and be mediocre)
im not saying winning, losing and being mediocre arent OK.....
but like the food i was talking about.....something just tells me that humanity can do better
