i'm concerned about the political landscape in the USA. some elements of the republican party are becoming increasingly anti-democratic. the 2022 midterms could be an inflection point that leads to undermining elections in 2024. (or it could all be fine! but there's real risk.)

Large parts of the US constitution are NOT democratic. Both left and right criticize it when they don’t like the outcome, but are happy to support it when it favors them. You should learn more about how the US works (Constitutional Law). hashcollision.substack.com/p…

Only one party is advocating for the end of the filibuster and packing the Supreme Court. It isn't Republicans.

The responses to this have me sad for the future. Not an ounce of accountability in the bunch. Just pure whataboutism.

From the outside it feels like a civil war might start if things keep this want. Two sides are not and more engulfed in their own way of thinking.

Gotta love how biased Sam Altman is by ignoring anti democratic elements in his party. BTW, did you remember to renew your WEF membership? Is the WEF democratic?

It’s happening on both sides. The democrats are just better at hiding it. How anti-democratic is it to fund the radical wing of your opponents? If they care as much about democracy as they claim to, this risky tactic would not be worth it, imo. houstonpublicmedia.org/npr/2…

Democrats are bankrolling ads promoting fringe Republican candidates. Here's why

As the midterm primary season rolls along, voters may have noticed a strange phenomenon of political advertising: Democrats paying for ads supporting Republican candidates.
