At this point we need to create a mechanism that allows public pressure on a party.

Switching from FPTP voting (one-person, one vote) to something else will allow for other parties to have a chance but that will take time to brew.

We're not ready for sortition (selection of officials by lottery) but that would end the career of politicians. And having barbers and coal miners govern is better than what we got now, even if they'll need a lot of handholding, and an institution to swat away lobbyist pests.

The voters really did a number breaking open Pandora's jar in November. It's a fine mess they've brought upon us, and one we may not survive to clean up.

I just want to point out that they are, including and especially the current pos, I mean Pota, business people, and businesses are, with one exception, authoritarian in nature. The exception? A co-op.

Orders are barked from the top, and that shit rolls down hill until it lands on someone with the skills necessary to execute on those orders.

Now take that, and build an entire political party on it, and for the likes and subscribes, throw in a religious element because the religious books can be "interpreted" whatever way we want to justify whatever we want to do, and that will garner some extra votes.

Yay!
