Of course it is possible. What would stop it? An alien is not going to fly down from space to put a stop to it. Nothing can stop it other than people, and those people are the democracy. They are not going to stop themselves.
But, it would require putting in the work to make happen. Which they don't want to do. People, and therefore democracies, don't like to put in work unless they absolutely have to. And in this case, why would they have to? There is really no good reason to put in the work. The people that could be recalled are there because the democracy wants them to be. Recalling them for no reason would be kind of silly.
- tehjoker 3y agoThis is a very pessimistic view of human nature and in my view simply wrong. Much of the time people don't want to put in work, but when there is a significant wrong and people are impacted, they will do the work if the avenue is there. If you don't even believe that, then you are throwing out the entire liberal idea of state elections.
- randomdata 3y ago> but when there is a significant wrong and people are impacted, they will do the work Of course. I even said as much in the previous comment. But I also said there is no reason to put in the work. The work needing to be done was given away to other people for good reason and the democracy wants to keep it that way. If that changes, things will change, but until then...
