We are living under a dictatorship. The government will do nothing to help. They are the ones that stole the election. The only solution is we the people.
Yep, there is a reason that term limits are never put on the table for politicians. They refuse to relinquish the power they usurped from the American people. There should not be any career politicians, it is a civic service and we need to return to that ideal. Civil servants should not be able to become millionaires within a couple of years of being elected. That is just pure corruption.
Campaign finance will do nothing under the circumstances we have now. They just launder money through Foundations these days. They write huge checks to foreign states which donate money to their foundations, or huge corporations donate to them, and the money goes back to the politicians.
Well, that's why I said "real" campaign finance reform. The laundering you accurately describe needs to end. That needs to be item #1 on our agenda to fix this broken system.
OK, maybe item #1 needs to be fixing the elections, but the two are very much related.
Yes, the only time politicians may even mention it is during election season. Afterwards, every promise they make is dropped. That was part of the reason Trump scared the establishment. How dare he keep to his campaign promises, that’s a terrible precedent to set.
The danger of a Convention of States is that it gets hijacked. I'm all for it, but we need to do it correctly and be on the lookout for wolves in sheep's clothing.
That is the hard part to sink in and it only did truly sink in with me a couple days ago. Tyranny is here. We live in a dictatorship now. Period. We no longer have freedom of speech, freedom of assembly or religion and Biden is already coming for the guns. We know that the government will come after us as terrorists if we don't do what they say and they will weaponize the government to come after us should we decide to run for office. This is it guys.

Or real campaign finance reform.
Both sides complain about it, but somehow it is never addressed.

Absolutely! That will need a convention of states. I don't see politicians limiting their selves in any way

34 to have the convention, 38 to pass anything

I knew there was corruption in the government but it is hard to accept how far it has gone. You are correct. The government is a dictatorship.
Establishment: Steals the election.
We the people: "Where is OUR special counsel?"
Establishment: "Oh you want a special counsel to investigate your domestic terrorism? Sure thing, you got it!"
I prefer the idea of independent investigative journalists seeking video evidence through inside sources.
