    I’m not really happy with our democracy. It always feels like our say stops at the ballot box, we need more direct democracy.

      Eight years ago I would have agreed. But, I think we’ve demonstrated the short comings of putting authority for our most important policies in the hands of your average citizen.

      I don’t have a better answer, mind you. Hopefully someone way further right on the “average citizen” bell curve has better ideas.

        If we required an IQ test and general knowledge test equally of all parties and eliminated all those who don’t know anything about what’s going on and those 10% or more below average we would have a better run country save for the Republicans revolting and committing acts of terrorism.

        If we divided the country all the rurals would have the option of moving to Trumpistan
