It's a pity politics is so polarizing in the US that this seems necessary. I guess it is a bit of an all hands on deck situation, but it makes me wonder what history has in store. Generally, all hands on deck situations precede disasters.
I think were witnessing FPTP democracy ripping itself apart by being stuck in a local maximum. The question is how much we are going to lose before we regain and hopefully surpass this local maximum.
- squibbles 6y agoUS politics has always been interesting. There have been numerous energetic elections, contentious presidents, assassinations, and even a civil war. I suspect what we are seeing has nothing to do with politics, specifically, but rather is an artifact of global communications and modern information systems. Advances in technology give increasingly greater power to individuals.
