    Let’s do that instead of trying to ratify citizen petitions, getting collective action, and actually building a unified ideal over time.

    Those work on a local level, not federal. Citizens have no control of anything Federal. The Federal government doesn’t have to listen to the citizens at all. The only consequence for them is during re-election. There they’ll just gerrymander the districts to force a win either way overall.

    The federal government relies on each branch overseeing each other. And the Republicans have a stacked blatantly partisan Supreme Court that gave the office of the President total immunity. And a Republican majority in both sides of Congress completely willing to let Trump do what he wants as far of the plan.

    Fixing this at a federal level will require getting to the exact opposite point we’re at now since we’ve allowed it to get to this point.
