We have an Executive, Legisla...handful of outdated pants shitters, and SCOTUS
Oh and 10s of millions of <50 year old adults that outnumber the >50 cohort. Yet they're too afraid of an frail olds doddering off into their own inner world live on TV.
Thing is rest of the world been saying this about the US for decades but censored TV full of imagery like one might see painted over buildings in countries run by Dear Leaders; Americans are effectively socially the same low effort smooth brains as those in terror nations they bemoan.
I’m not a fan of term limits because they would allow megacorporations to buy influence too easily (with free retries every X years).
Establishment has flaws for sure, but de-stabilization is not one of them.
Steady state can only be achieved with balance.
One might point out the yale study that shows we don't have democracy, but if that's true, idk how one would implement a democracy that doesn't get co-opted the way ours has. Most of the ideas I see are not actually democratic. There's a lotof "well, democracy would work if only people / ideas that agree with my correct political views should be allowed to power" which isn't democracy, it's authoritarianism. Plato established a long time ago that benevolent authoritarianism is preferable to democracy, but the problem is humans aren't really good at implementing it. When authoritarians of any ilk get power, they tend to step on someone, no matter how good their intentions are.

DSA is the Coachman in pinocchio who promises a new life on Pleasure Island. Eventually the bill comes due.
The failure mode you're observing in the US is that one partisan hack can write a memo in the correct linguistic style, submit it to a council with a majority of other partisan hacks, and like magic anything can become legal or illegal, because everything was done in the correct linguistic style. Actual practice does not matter. There are lots of examples of this over the last two years, perhaps the case against the 14th amendment is a good starting point to see how this works.
And an equal number in your country. Do not lecture Americans on freedom and virtue. Your country has its share of shortcomings, your economy structured to a higher degree to benefit a class of oligarchs. Your politicians are liars and thieves like any other. Wait your turn.
> The problem is that Americans are very far from realizing that they have a problem
So I understand and I certainly agree that you're with the majority of Americans thinking everything's basically fine.
then he takes all those billions and further funds the alt-right
democracy is pretty much done even if Dems get the Senate
actually he may stomp on the accelerator pedal if the Senate does shift
btw it's not "many" only a very few countries have done that
we're literally one Supreme Court justice away from the country becoming the christian taliban
capitalism doesn't need democracy, MANY countries prove that, they even prefer knowing who to bribe to get exactly what they want
I think the answer starts with the US breaking apart into many smaller countries and the natural decolonization happening via demographic trends.

The American dream is alive and kicking.
When OpenAI started to move obviously towards commercial and governmental ties, a lot of people left. Those people were necessary to build the tech. Many landed at Anthropic, a company that still attracts the most ideologically strict and capable ML researchers.
But at some point of their choosing, the powers that be will just take it.
What’s up with Republicans attracting all the people who can’t talk to chicks?
By that token, don’t ask what party attracts the most convicted criminals…
Studies I found say team blue. But also suggest they are flawed, not national, and racist. Thoughts?
There has not been said it attracts only incels so no contradiction. Both claims could hold.
