General Discussion

When I say "the system basically works", I mean the federal government, not the electoral system. There is a persistent right wing myth that government bureaucracy does not work. That is just a lie and a pretext for cutting vital programs so the rich can have a tax giveaway.

I agree with you that there is a problem with our electoral system though. When a billionaire can buy the presidency, that is a problem. When someone convicted of multiple felonies can become President, that is a problem also.

Trump should have been stopped with a court conviction and imprisonment prior to the election of 2024. And there should be an amendment to the Constitution. No convicted felon should be able to be President.

Frankly, Trump should have been found guilty of insurrection, and that would have disqualified him from ever being President again. So the electoral system is flawed and that is a problem. But when I said "the system basically works", I meant the federal government and federal workers, not the electoral system.
