@secretsloth@mastodon.art I’m a big supporter of proportional representation, killing the electoral college, universal ranked choice voting, and barring any privately funded election advertising or donations.
How to make that happen when literally everyone in power is a product of our big money donation & first-past-the post elections? That’s where I’m a bit lost. 🙃

@mivox@mivox.net @secretsloth@mastodon.art Sounds like you've arrived at the point where youve realise that you cannot reform the current systems because they are either corrupted beyond redemption or were inherently flawed to begin with

@mivox@mivox.net well.... the government becomes illegitemate when it no longer represents the interests of the people, according to the *oh so worshipped* white men of yore, and SO, if we don't get to vote, it would be our constitutional duty to uh. (Checks notes) I guess, be the people? Yes. Be the people. I can be a people. I smell like dog but there's a people under all the slobber and tangled covers somewhere. I think. :BlobCat_Blankie:
