1/The biggest failure of both our politics & media is that most news analysis is kept on the surface, always dealing with symptom & rarely dealing with cause. It's always talking about the house yet rarely addresses the health of its foundation. In fact the foundation is rotting

2/ If your democracy is under attack, your house is rotting. If your economy is unjust, your house is rotting. If your food and environmental policies literally cause people to be ill, your house is rotting. If your citizens are duped into not seeing this, your house is rotting.

3/ But every problem comes bearing its own solution. It's in the midst of how bad all this is that the miracle is born. People are waking up. People are seeing the rot. People are asking themselves, "Why are we putting up with this?" And from that the necessary changes will come.

That's why we need to move to liquid democracy. Representative democracy has failed us. We need to stop discussing the scandals, personalities, and name recognition of politicians and start discussing the pros and cons of policy. youtube.com/GFh0aZ_u9FQ youtube.com/Ma8I0R6RJFA
