Why abolish the senate, Supreme Court, and president? That would destroy our checks and balances system

“Public ownership of major corporations” has this chump ever heard of the stock market or public companies before? You can literally buy shares or any major company that trades on one of the stock exchanges.

I also thought it was funny how one goal was “end warfare against countries who act independently of the US”, but also “free Palestine”. Are we getting involved in international affairs or no? Or just stopping wars against countries that we’re beating?

nah fr, and putting executives and judiciary below congress too. that gives the house ultimate power. imagine an authoritarian-like party gains power with no one to check them

Has the president defied a Supreme Court order yet? He hasn’t been held in contempt yet so you could argue it’s working pretty well. But since it’s not 100% up to your standard you want to implement some socialist wonderland… make it make sense

i agree that our checks and balances are being weakened, but federal courts have been doing a lot to challenge trump, and they can do that because the judicial branch is independent. there would be no way to enforce the constitution either. scrapping our last line of defense is not the answer. you’d be ensuring that authoritarians or oligarchs wouldn’t even have to put up a fight to consolidate power

This argument collapses when you remember that Israel is a proxy of the US Government, which means if we end up warfare against countries who act independently of the US, we would functionally be freeing Palestine; if anything, you could argue that it’s redundant to put both

No, they’re not a proxy of the US. They’re independent but will obviously listen very closely to what we ask them since that’s how being allies works. They disagree with us over lots of stuff, such as the Iran “deal”. We used to be very close with Canada before Trump fucked up our relationship w them, but I wouldn’t call them a proxy of the US.
