    “Majoritarian bullshit”, otherwise known as voting, is the only check and balance we have on this form of governance short of full on upheaval.

    Don’t be so quick to ignore the voice of the people without first remembering it’s your voice too.

      The voice of the people is worthless if it doesn’t align with the rights of the people

          Ahh, yes. Authoritarians are well known for their commitment to upholding peoples rights.

            No, they just know that’s a good justification for literally anything they want to do, because you won’t truly question it.

              Just because you unfailingly want the government to have more power, it doesn’t mean I share your interests

                I didn’t say I want that, you just assumed my views (incorrectly).

                Government officials are our employees. We hire them to do a job and should be critical of them when they don’t do that job or lie about it, no infight about what we think they claim to morally stand for.

                  Lmao you have no room to whine about your views being assumed since that’s all you’ve done

                    Do you disagree that government officials are our employees and they do a job for us, and we should hold them accountable to that job?
