Fascinating and a very revealing comment. Allow me to translate.
Democracy is only democracy when we hold the power. Otherwise, it is populism.
Like I said. Very revealing.
- johnnyanmac 2y agovery dishonest reading, but I'm not surprised at this point. Congress is "beauracracy". a single elected official is just that. Ideally, the most efficient means is a benevolent dictator, but human nature rarely draws such people. Hence, beauracracy.
- A4ET8a8uTh0_v2 2y ago<< We’re better off with more power in the hands of the bureaucracy and less in the hands of populist politicians. How is it dishonest? Parent says "beauracracy" is better, but this is not what the system is set up for and not how it is designed. The reason for current preference for "beauracracy" as 'better' is partisan at best, hence my reading is not only not dishonest, but disturbingly accurate. And this is all before we get to the part of how we got here and the more interesting part of previous federal workforce purges ( and the resulting rise of "beauracracy" ). Give me some credit man.
- School-Cotton 2y agoIt is not partisan at all. If left-wing populists took over the Democratic Party and tried to radically upend the system, I'd also hope the professional civil service resisted them.
