I can’t even count how many hours I’ve spent in the past year arguing about some BS charge, trying to get something repaired under warranty, or even trying to redeem an valid coupon that was sent to me. I’ve reached a point where I’m exhausted in trying to fight these kinds of things but I feel like I can’t just let any of it go. Sometimes I wish I could hire a Karen, it would be 100% worth it.
In my opinion the way you do things is how they should be done in order to actually have free and fair elections but impossible to dismantle the power structure now since they run things. They buy the politicians and in some cases literally write the laws.
That’s horrible.
Can’t a good grass roots movement pierce that? A small local party, with iron clad rules for supporting and funding candidates?
I know primaries are important in the US but when one candidate can slander another of the same party something is very wrong.
Our parties rarely run primaries here as what is important is the votes cast to one party not one individual. This has a downside to it, obviously, but we skip the internal drama on who will be the next candidate to run for office.
