Please don’t elect Temu Trump (Pierre Poilievre) or Trump’s useful idiot Doug Ford.

    Congress has the power to impeach him and remove him from office. Of course, like the last 10 or so war criminal presidents of the U.S., they don’t. Likewise, the courts have the power to neuter his presidency - and had the power to put him in prison - but don’t, and didn’t.

    The precise reason why the solution has always been total system replacement. From within or without.

        I would edit it to say:

        The precise reason why the solution has always been total replacement of the system with direct democracy. From within or without.

        I have some faith that we’d see the economic outcomes we want with direct votes for measures vs. votes for politicians, due to the amount of involvement required.
