> Also, I've bumped into you multiple times on this forum talking about governance, and while I appreciate the zeal PLEASE read an introductory book on Civics - you seem to have a cursory understanding of how governments are designed. I'd recommend the AP Gov curriculum for the US. Who are you to decide for other HN users what they know or don’t know? And why do your opinions even matter in determining what other HN users know about ‘governance’ or ‘how governments are designed’?

> And why do your opinions even matter My opinions don't matter, but the fact that you make very basic mistakes around how checks and balances work, as well as how institutions are run in the US seems to show this lack of elementary understanding of civics. If you just want to kvetch, so be it. But if you want to have an actual serious discussion about these topics, actually understand these intricacies.

  > My opinions don't matter,… It doesn’t make sense to continue writing the same opinions after self declaring those opinions don’t matter…? Declaring your opinions are ‘facts’ in an HN reply, doesn’t magically transform or transmute them into bonafide facts… So this seems about as coherent as random LLM output. Edit: And I can also declare the above to be a ‘fact’… and it will carry the same weight too.
