Voting is the most violent act someone can commit in their lifetime. -FRANK BACON SENDNOTES

So declining to vote does much more than cause a statistical entry on the non-voting side of a ledger sheet. It is a positive way for a person to lower their level of moral responsibility for acts of violence engaged in by the government that they would never engage in personally

Yes, but that won't stop the government from doing bad things. I believe that the only peaceful way to fight the system is to run for election. What is needed is a broad social movement whose candidates, after winning the elections, will do everything to eliminate countless government agencies, cut taxes and reduce the power of the federal government to minimum

The current system simply lacks two things:

more elements of direct democracy through regular referenda on EVERY issue.

The ability to withdraw votes for delegates, as we do on Blurt.

And a ban on financing presidential campaigns and elections with money other than the equally allocated ex officio. I believe that every candidate who gets elected should receive the same amount of money from our taxes, so that each candidate could present themselves and their program to others equally. In the current system, only those with large sponsors will always win, and sponsors, as we know, are most often large corporations and "philanthropies" like Gates.

it would turn the current corrupt system upside down, a great idea

yes, people unfortunately have a short memory for politicians' antics, and after the election sausage they even get amnesia. Something like this would ensure that no politician would thumb his nose at voters or his career would end faster than it began.

Why would those in power supports these measures?

I'm of the opinion that a local city (sitting) counsel could be run appropriately using this or a similar Cloned version of this chain. Meta, X, IG and others are just sinister systems of specious realities that disorganize groups and their aims. In principal, and assembly could be conducted worldwide with weighted results that could solve real world issues, if everyone weren't too busy in a popularity contest.

It's a moot point because the "Tech" that's coming is beyond Free Will 🥓

Truth is, power structures come in more than just its governmental iterations.

And 3rd, The Downvote in hive IS A STRAIGHT UP SCAM!

And who will fund these candidates? Who controls the government, and has for decades? Who controls the political parties?

We have internet. Hundreds or even thousands of influencers, instead of complaining about how bad the government is, could promote independent candidates. If you knew that a man you trust was running for election, wouldn't you vote for him?

In general, I say that I already know that the government is bad and that is the problem. From the influencers I want to hear proposals to solve the problem. Fleeing to Mexico is not a solution for 300 million Americans

Well, corporations own the government, select the candidates, and send the most lobbyists to it, so maybe change them from within? Think about what happened with Hive. Concentrate power, you're gonna have a bad time.

Somewhat related, I magically stumbled upon an article that claimed fart fetishes are now the second most common fetish on the internet. What is a fart but pre-copro for the phages?

The word petard is derived from the Latin word pedere, meaning "to break wind":

A petard is ALSO a small bomb used for blowing up gates and walls when breaching fortifications, originally invented in France in 1579.

So next time I fart I should say "bombs away," as the methane laden gas blows through my portcullis.
