They’re already over in the “Mister Smith goes to Washington” sense. I don’t ever see anyone getting to the top without being grown in a vat at the DNCC, or sacrificing all of their principles like we are about to see Whitmer do.
There will never be a representative election again, and I don’t think there has been one on a national level probably ever. The political machine has been in motion for far too long to let some random upstart change anything.
Most political change has come from grassroots movements anyway
Right, but I think they’ll cancel the pageant of voting too. They’ll say they need to suspend elections for national security or because of suspected voter fraud or due to foreign interference or due to whatever crisis they created.
Elections are pointless and I don’t see this new revanchist right seeing a reason to keep them going.
There’s the old saying: “if voting actually did anything, they would make it illegal”
I don’t necessarily disagree with you though. I find it interesting that we had an election in the middle of a civil war. I don’t see that happening today.
I wonder how people would react to suspended elections. If it was liberals suspending elections, there would be a double January 6th type event. Libs let the parliamentarian tell them no and nothing happens because of civility™. I haven’t had representation my whole life, so I don’t think I’ll notice a difference.

I kind of hate that saying, because for a lot of people voting literally is illegal.
Liberals will scream “how dare you sir!” and then do nothing.
I hope normal people will actually be agitated to action, though.
