I don't have some magical solution to the flaws of democracy, but any good solution needs to begin with ensuring that the population is politically educated
Then you’ve already lost in perpetuity.
You’re right of course, it’s just - we’ve been saying that for 50 years. The goal only ever gets farther away.
I never said it was realistic, all I said is that it's the first step
It’s been the first step for 50 years though. Any thoughts as to how it could be implemented that haven’t already been tried?
Unlike before we have the Internet, all we need is one YouTuber that teaches political literacy to go big.
Okay!
Aaaaaannnnd . . . Go!
