Why is the American governance system so uniquely dysfunctional compared to governance of essentially every other first world Western country, including other anglo countries? Why is it all so shit? Barely anything gets done in the Congress, only two parties exist, congressmen are elected in some fucking gerrymandered electoral districts, with a ratio of like 700k people per 1 house rep. Worst of all, I really don't think any of it is going to be ever fixed.
>>534481362We legalized bribery like 20 years ago in a supreme court decision.
>>534481362France has had five republics, we've had one
There are some good things though, I think the primary system is kinda better than deciding on the candidates in the party internally, often by delegates, but I feel like the problem with it is that, because it seems to me that these primaries are conducted by the government itself, it necessarily establishes a limit of the number of parties, as the government probably doesn't want to conduct 20 primaries for each party. The top-two primaries are straight up a partisan trick to make sure there are no more than two parties.
>>534481362Why does it work better than the Russian system though?I mean you lot tried dozens of systems in just a century and none of them worked even remotely as good as the American mess.I'm not opposed to cleaning up messes but when the alternatives are attempts like communism you should not be surprised that people consistently go: "Yeah okay, better not change it.".Can't blame the Americans for the overabundance of worse options.
>>534481362We're still using the same constitution from 1789, and it's only been updated 27 times, of which 10 were done immediately. The country's changed immensely but the constitution hasn't, because changing the constitution requires almost unanimous consent (2/3 of Congress and 3/4 of states), and whoever's benefitting from its issues blocks at any one time will block it from being changed. For example the electoral college is obviously retarded, it made sense back in the 18th century when the states were actually quite distinct from one another, but now that there's an overarching monoculture and the country is fully unified it makes no sense to use a byzantine system that privileges some states over others. But because it structurally benefits republicans, republicans will invent all kinds of absurd arguments to defend it, and no they don't even believe those arguments themselves, it's a pretext to get what they actually want, which is simply an advantage in Presidential elections.
>>534481362>Why is the American governance system so uniquely dysfunctional compared to governance of essentially every other first world Western country, including other anglo countries? >Why is it all so shit?Because 1. Private Money issuance. 2. Capitalists control energy companies3. Capitalists control healthcare industry - hospitals, insurance, doctors offices etc.Private money issuance by banks creates a SERIOUS PROBLEM , only oligarchs get the funds.The rest of the people - such as mortgages - oligarchs who own banks are interested in you going bankrupt. Private Healthcare is a MASSIVE DISASTER, nobody wants to heal anybody, just put everyone permanently on drugs. Private energy monopolies is a DISASTER, your energy bill is $800 per month in winter. Gov should FULLY CONTROL money issuance, and Healthcare. >healthcare CAN'T BE FOR PROFIT and control over 50% of energy companies. >so that their goal is to provide cheap energy>and not to bankrupt you with energy bills
>>534482182Why bring Russia into this, I've never even bothered reading the Russian constitution, it's not a democracy (or good) and I'm not claiming it is
>>534482548I outlined 3 largest problems: >>534482512
>>534481362american public is fat and retarded and views everything with a niggerball mindset. >YOU LOST, TRANNY!!!!>(it was a pyrrhic victory)
>>534482182It's a terrible system, but it's also the best one on earth. 250 years of a continuous republic, barring a 4-year civil war 160 years ago.
>>534482548Because it is still relevant...?The way various atrempts at change themselves have taken a toll on it while not really producing anything that works better is a rather solid argument against change for the sake of change.Even changes that even just superficially resemble past failures, for in politics substance and form are never separable.
>>534482684Yeah, least worst still leaves it first.
>>534482498>but now that there's an overarching monoculture and the country is fully unifiedLol. Lmao, even. It's exactly why we still need the electoral college. You are the only person who would consider America a "fully unified" monoculture in 2026.
>>534481362It was designed that way on purpose to prevent Federal tyranny, but it failed at that too
>>534482758This, that was such an obvious self-unaware globohomo shill take.
>>534482758you're a fat retarded mutt and if you ever stepped foot outside the United States in your life you would very quickly realize that there is in fact an American monoculture. No you are not a special snowflake because you're from some bumfuck shithole like Nebraska, you're just another amerimutt
>>534481362Which country functions better than them? Surely not a western one by my count. You ever watch Australian/British/Canadian parliament? Because a 3rd grade class in detroit made up of entirely nigglets is more mature and functional than them
>>534481362
>>534482812The difference between republicans and democrats is rather easy to see from the outside nowadays:Ignorant and proud of it versus ignorant and pretentiously in denial about it.Guess which one is easier to take serious for outsiders.
>>534481362>Barely anything gets done in the CongressThat's by design, and it's why we're one of the oldest western governments left.Honestly the best thing we could do as a country would be to go back to Senators getting appointed by state legislatures instead of popular vote. Way less would get done
>>534481362I don't really want the people in charge accomplishing anything.
>>534482812Lol shut the fuck up you ignorant nigger. I live in NJ. I've lived all over the country. I have eyes and ears and a brain. You seem like a foreigner with a VPN as you interpret "shit America produces culturally" as representative of a "unified monoculture." If you were actually in-country you know there are deep seemingly impassible cultural and social and political divides in this country that have been roiling for a decade. What are you, 14?
>>534482878I could care less what you think foreigner, I never said eurotrannies were any better than amerimutts
>>534481362A lot of the people are dumb. Like really dumb. This is by design. We need Nuremberg Trials for Big Tech and for the new national focus to be education.>Half or more can't read higher than a 6th grade reading level
Because most of our actual governance happens at the state-level.America is not a country like Germany, we're a federation of states with a federal government that presides over certain aspects. In that way we're more like the EU than any individual country.
>>534482984Luckily that is irrelevant to any of my points, as it was just a rhetorical device.
>>534482978You are retarded if you think the differences between American states are anything close to the differences between different countries.
>>534482965>That's by design, and it's why we're one of the oldest western governments left.Buddy , the Corprorate Lobby and K Street Lawyers are wring absolute majority of the laws now.Remember Pelosi's famous , "we have to pass a bill in to see what's in it?"
>>534481362A combination of not being a real country and a low IQ population
>>534483058Good thing I never said that, you fucking monkey. But you did say America is a fully unified monoculture, which is maybe the stupidest statement I've seen on /pol/ this year.
>>534483829Nope, I said the country has an overarching monoculture, and that it's fully unified. There is such a thing as distinct American culture, and the issue of unity was settled in the Civil War. The cultural distinctions within America that do exist are not broken up along state boundaries in the way that they once were, and therefore the electoral college is stupid.
>>534481362Bourgeois consolidation after the Revolutionary war, the founding fathers were land rich slave owners who wanted to keep the subsistence farmers in check by replacing the more loose articles of confederation (still a bourgeois document) for the constitution in response to agrarian agitation.
>>534484012Nope. You are dead wrong. The divisions are ideological and severe. And often regional, but besides that even in-state sizeable populations are at ideological divide. And you keep conflating pop culture with socio-cultural cohesion, which there is none. If you want a fully unified monoculture, use China as an example. But America ain't that and likely never will be. Hence why the electoral college is needed.
>>534481362>Why is the American governance system so uniquely dysfunctional compared to governance of essentially every other first world Western country, including other anglo countries?We have more jews than anywhere on earth besides israel, and now they are taking their revenge on your country for (deservedly) expelling them.You guys probably should have done the needful when you had the chance, hopefully the next time it will be different.
>>534481534Yeah, about time you make a new one.
>>534481362>Why is the American governance system so uniquely dysfunctional compared to governance of essentially every other first world Western country, including other anglo countries?Because we don't really have a government Ivan. It's just corporations. Our government is a total illusion, just a show to watch. Moneyed interests run it all behind thr scenes. America is a business not a country.
>>534482684>but it's also the best one on earth. 250 years of a continuous republicThis is not an argument though, or at least not a good one. Jews have been mutilating their dicks for thousands of years, does that mean it's positive?
>>534481362because it is the global hegemon.If you are ultra rich guy looking to become even richer, the country you are going to spend all your money on lobbying will be the USOn top of getting lower taxes, less regulation, more subsidies in the biggest economy in the world, the US can also lobby on your behalf to other countries.The US can pressure other countries to buy your weapons, and award you contracts.The flies will swarm the sweetest fruit (ok they don't actually but the metaphor holds)
>>534482512>1I vaguely understand supplementing the status quo with public money issuance but I'm not sure how you would get rid of private money issuance. I assume you are saying the lack of public capital is the problem, not the presence of private capital.How would public capital issuance work?Would the government start its own consumer-facing bank to introduce competition and reduce mortgage requirements?
>>534482684It's not even close to the best one on earth
>>534481362The US is minority white. It has been for a while. Census numbers are skewed - they don’t count the 40 million illegals/count a lot of the Mexicans as white.The rigged democracy is given the outward appearance of being run by racial voting blocks (we’ll count women as a minority, they do) motivated by fear.There is not an actual democracy. We have one party that is only outwardly in conflict. There is no difference of opinion on foreign policy or monetary policy, which are the only things that matter. That’s marketing. It’s fearmongering for the racial blocs.Trump exists to pin problems on. He got us back in the sandbox for another two generations. He is crashing the economy again, like he did with COVID lockdowns. He exists to be Hitler 2: the negative face of nationalism so that they never have to entertain representative government in this country again.“Getting things done” in the legislature is a retarded concept the eurocattle have that is inexplicable. We have more laws than anyone is capable of understanding. The average person commits three felonies a day without knowing it. We do not need more laws. We do not need more programs. We do not need to spend more money. We need to burn half of this shit, but boomers will not vote for someone younger than themselves, so we are stuck with rulers in their 90s until the day of the pillow.
So dysfunctional that it conquered an entire continent and makes the rest of you look like irrelevant powerless backwaters
