The problem with conservatives is that they are basically political Amish. They are like genetically deficient rabbits who are not born with an instinctual fear of wolves. Most conservatives were raised in good families around other good families and have almost no real understanding of the human underbelly. And that is why our government is populated almost entirely by people from the human underbelly. It is the difference between Kansas and New York City.
I have written continuously that it is impossible that dishonorable people have not been running candidates in both primaries probably since shortly after the creation of the republican party. Politics is like a roulette table where bets on red and black pay thirty to one. Government is the font of money and it is the sole owner of legalized force. Gaining control of it insures absolute power, unlimited wealth, and zero labor for those in charge. No conscious being could fail to see that there are more than enough people on this planet willing to lie, cheat, and steal to gain control of the government and running candidates in both primaries is absolutely essential, if not running multiple candidates in each primary.
For this story to come out as if it were a revelation is not only laughable, it is embarrassing. The fact that there are maybe hundreds of millions of people to whom this has never occurred to is the strongest argument as to why people should not be allowed to govern themselves. If you couldn’t see this a million miles away, you probably do need to be slaves of a ruling class.
The problem with being an honorable person is that you are honor bound to not engage in intentional deceit. Accordingly, you cannot run candidates in both primaries who say one thing with no intention of honoring it, like almost all republican congresspeople. That is why our current ‘representative’ government can no longer work. For this reason, it is essential that conservatives quit being asininely naive and start collecting signatures for a constitutional convention.
Once called, we can call for governance by blockchain-protected smartphone where every locality is run by popular majority and every issue can be proposed and voted on by the voting public. With smartphone governance, there will no longer be any need for ‘representatives’ who are actually ruling elite sleepers, nor will there be any need to be ruled by a judicial priesthood. Instead of a demonocracy, we could actually have a truedemocracynow dot com.
I don't have, and will not have, a smartphone. I have a basic slider from Tracfone. Basically, it's for emergencies while out on my motorcycle. So how will I participate in your high-tech solution?
One day of voting, in person, positive ID, paper ballots, no absentee voting (except military).
Blockchain cell phones will not work when thee is no one allowed to have electricity.
NO convention.
Regain control of States, then submit amendments, one by one...until we get it fixed. Managing you government is as important as managing you life, work, and family.
