I'm not going to restate my point multiple times.

If you made even the slightest good faith effort I would expand on it, but clearly it is not that you do not understand my simple on misunderstandable point. But a debate tactic when you have no points in logic and truth.

As I referred to classically, it refers to 2,000 years ago or more. Which for a few centuries they had been subjugated by the Greeks and then Romans, the rulers of which adopted Eastern norms and declared themselves God and ruled as an all-powerful monarch.

It is not a misunderstanding of the intentions so much as they are playing by the old rules where you do not call something for what it is out of polity.

An old decorum only exercised by the weak Democratic establishment now.

The Republicans do more than call out for what it is, they lie and accuse you of being the problem for their own perversions. But our Democrats refuse to even truthfully call a problem.

Well do not stop there, you should explain why the other side doesn't get more votes. Because the opposition party is worthless at best. Being better than the other guy has never been enough to comfortably win elections and we already knew that but that is the only thing we are offering. The way to get elected is not to be half as Republican as the republicans, it is to be Champion popular reform and loudly fight for it. To call out villains by name, to have a, to have a fucking spine.

We are doomed with this same opposition party and Power and they are despite the last election. We should all agree that's a failure. Nobody answers for that? We allowed the same power Brokers to do the next one?

Most of the referendum laws sponsored by voters are Constitutional Amendments that take an extra supermajority of 3/4 I think to overturn them. Others like Florida it is just statutory law and when they passed that law allowing felons to vote the lawmakers just jammed it up with other laws so only like 200 of them were registered to vote election time.

Part of the difference now is that before it was the National Security type people that had the information, no the politicians themselves will be able to access it, as well as numerous outside groups able to hack the system. So it is a world of difference even if the internet is compromised on a basic level. Especially now with these computer programs able to sort and make assumptions however unfounded about people.

Tesla is already 100 times overvalued at a minimum, this would be 800 times. Their intrinsic value is not more than 10 billion, and that is before Elon alienated half of the West with his Nazi bullshit and government actions.

Well, the Tribunate helped curtail be Patricians excesses for 400 plus years. Quite a bit longer than we have as a country.

I think they got their first ones around 500 BC when the plebs did a general strike encamping to a hill.

Then they had another general strike what was it 300 BC ish where they got more tribunes and got some other reforms.

The government and taxpayers did not receive a single benefit from Iraq or Afghanistan despite paying for it all.

And yes true to form the CIA used money from the drug trade to pay for Black Ops we can presume.

But that does not mean that our political leaders and their donor Pals did not get oil from Iraq. All gains are privatized and kicked back to the polits.

We would not invade, they would blow shit up, blow up their infrastructure, bomb them. Even they are not stupid enough to do an invasion at this point in time.

What they would do is try to seduce a faction of the army to initiate a coup, maybe in that case we might contribute some troops to a specific action to help. I don't think these guys are capable enough to pull that off though.
