To do that you first need to become more powerful than those powerful people, right?
- BrenBarn 5mo agoWell, no, you just a need a coalition that collectively is more powerful.
- p1esk 5mo agoWe already have two such coalitions within Congress: Republicans and Democrats. How is that working out?
- mcdonje 5mo agoThey got captured
- BrenBarn 5mo agoThose are coalitions of politicians, which to an increasing extent are part of the "powerful" group that needs to be overridden. By coalitions I mean coalitions of the actual citizenry.
- p1esk 5mo agoI struggle to imagine how would something like that form, function, or become powerful enough to matter. Do you have any examples of such coalitions?
- BrenBarn 5mo agoUnfortunately most of them are bad. The Tea Party is maybe one, for instance. Note that I'm not describing any type of "structure" here. I just mean a group of people who are willing to vote for the same things.
