If a society does not hold lairs accountable for their lies and publically shame the liars a society will find its self in the situation we currently have
Many people being taken in by the lies and lead off on a distructive tangent as we currently are living
It happened because all the news except fox tried to be overly “FAIR” to the liars
Fox just full on lied to protect the liars and backed their lies
Political correctness baffled them
They actually though if they were soft spoken and deferential to the liars it would prove to them they were fair
Remember how trump would spout a blatant lie in his first run and the news would Not call it a lie
It was all “he misspoke”, “He misunderstood the data”,
“He got the facts wrong”
TRUMP WAS LYING
And the news stations tried to be too deferential
So for the moment we didn’t hold the liars responsible
There are times in history it happens
And now society is holding the liars responsible
Does that clarify it for you?
I don’t believe the American people would agree to heave the founders and the congressional system for a parliment
And again
How does libertarianism mesh with socialism in your preferred system?

Agreed on parliamentarianim.
OTOH, We the People certainly need election reform. Specifically less money influencing elections against the best interests of the nation.
Term limits would be good too. Say 5 terms for the House and 2 terms for the Senate...we can start with "consecutively" and see how that works meaning people can move back and forth between the House and Senate an unlimited number of times.
Ranking. I like the idea of ranking candidates by preference. In 1992 if people had ranked their vote as Perto, Bush and Clinton, then Bush would have won reelection.
Likewise, in 2000, if Democrats had ranked Nader, Gore, Bush, then Gore would have won.
"Hatred is a failure of imagination" - Graham Greene, "The Power and the Glory"
All term limits do is limit the voters CHOICE
I believe in the people
Give them the facts and a system that there is no election cheating and let them PICK WHO THEY WANT
in every other field expertise is revered
Why turn government into an Amateur hour only endeavor
The ranking thing could work better as on in an primary the two top vote getter run it off
But I have to mention those example cases the Democratic Party members would have won if the republicans had been prevented from cheating
It was this part of his statement, the one you took care to quote, that is interesting:
Why do you hate America?Humans simply can't be trusted to do the right thing without government controlling their actions, which is why libertarianism fails.
The government is made up of humans, the same beings you just agreed never do the right thing. Back away from the blotter you old hippie.
Don't be afraid to see what you see

The left hasn't devolved into a mindless mob who for 30 years has refused to manage the government when given the privilege and did its absolute best to destroy it whenever it lost an election. The left hasn't spent months lying about a fair election because they're a bunch of brain washed sore losers. The left hasn't spent every hour of the Biden presidency bitching about "cancel culture" and Meghan Markel. The left isn't tearing itself apart because it sold its nonexistent soul to an authoritarian Nazi and completely lost control. The right has no standing in the universe to call the left "uncivilized".
