Summary
The Democratic National Committee and two other party committees have sued Trump over Executive Order 14215, which claims authority to seize control of the Federal Elections Commission.
The lawsuit argues this violates federal law and threatens free elections.
The order also claims power over other agencies including the SEC, FTC, and NLRB.
Democrats contend this executive overreach contradicts constitutional principles and a century of Supreme Court precedent upholding Congress’s authority to insulate certain agencies from presidential control.
How long is it going to take Bernie, AOC et all to walk out of the Democratic Party and start their own?
That’s the only solution. Hopefully some moderate Republicans do the same (create their own party), and finally America will have a democracy…
Bernie has never been a Democrat, except when he ran for president.
You had me until you said “moderate republicans”.
That’s just a standard Democrat like Pelosi.
You got to have a place where the people who want to get off the bat shit crazy fascist bandwagon can jump to…
Hopefully less than 2 years.
IMHO we won’t have one until we adopt a European style election where we have more than 2 viable parties and the electoral college is abolished.
I think economic reforms have to be also given the Constitution treatment. A lot of this bullshit came about because wealthy people couldn’t help but engage in Gluttony, regardless of the true cost and consequences. Elon simply wasn’t satisfied with his ‘meagre’ level of wealth, and is arranging to murder the poor for the sake of running up a high score.
We need the wealthy, as we know them, to simply cease to exist, while giving UBI to everyone so that even the poorest can skip work to engage in politics. Too much or too little money is dangerous, because it rigs society to favor the very few.
Without economic changes, this crap will simply happen again.
Yeah, even Trump took over a party and molded it to him rather than created a new one. It’s not possible in a FPTP system to have more than two viable parties.
Look at Canada, that’s the only reason Conservatives have had any control or power. We have one right wing party(Conservatives), and 3 on the left(liberals, new democrats and green party).
It’s usually pretty close to a 35/65 split between right and left, but right wins half the time because of how fractured the left is… (currently there is a right fascist surge in Canada , just like the rest of the world, with Elons funding and Russia’s electronic warfare )
It’s a garbage system the last government promised to reform and didn’t, which hurts them long term.
*We also have a wild card party(BQ) that just represents one province Quebecs interest’s , which should be banned from federal politics, they will swap sides just to get the best deal for those specifically in their province and that goes against the spirit of the federal politics for a United nation *
