    You know what? I think its time to set up an seperate national assembly of some sort to address the actual problems of the people. Let’s just pat the rich on the head, let Congress go sniff tRump’s farts, then go govern the addressing of actual problems (the unaffordablility of food, the lack of healthcare to the masses, global heating, AI causing mass unemployment, etc.). Our government clearly refuses to address the actual problems of the masses, so lets collectively assemble a seperate but equal governing body to address them ourselves.

      We have the right to abolish the government - https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/declaration-transcript

      The question is will those in power turn the military towards the people and try to kill citizens acting legally? The answer is absolutely they will kill as many as possible to preserve their world order where the rich get everything and you get nothing. The only hope for our side is that there are far more of us then there are of them - even when you count the pedophile loving magats.

        Why do you think they’re making such an enormous investment in robots and mass surveillance?

      Yeah, maybe like a separate legislature in each state, to take care of the local issues.

      Oh wait, they already have that, and they tend to be even more corrupt than the Feds, current administration excepted.

        I was thinking more of a tennis-court oath for a national assembly.

        Like, a seperate national Congress, Supreme Court, and executive that will do the actual job of the federal government: print money, regulate interstate commerce, provide for the common good of the people, ensure universal health-insurance, collect taxes, raise an army, etc. You know, an actual government that governs. Then, since it will do the actual job of the government, we can safely ignore the corrupt cesspool that is there now.
