A modern first world democracy requires a modern information era electoral process. An election app would ensure all Americans could have an easy convenient means to vote for their preferred candidate without even leaving their homes, especially useful during a global pandemic. Blockchain technology can ensure this new modern method of electoral interface is completely tamper proof as well as quick. The President also will have less means to sabotage the election such as de-funding the USPS and sending armed goons to the polls to intimidate voters. https://cryptobriefing.com/if-us-voted-with-blockchain-wed-already-know-election-winner/ Blockchain is a system of recording information in a way that makes it difficult or impossible to change, hack, or cheat the system. A blockchain is essentially a digital ledger of transactions that is duplicated and distributed across the entire network of computer systems on the blockchain.

Do you honestly think he would admit this on camera if it were true? The man is known for misspeaking, put the tin foil hat away!

@Preety_India Yes, it is a big problem holding us back. Growing up, I didn't know there was so much racism in America's institutions and politics. But now as an adult black male, it appears ubiquitous in America. I can't believe how much of this country is not even at stage orange yet.

@Preety_India No, Samoa is not a state. America made Hawaii a state because many whites moved there. I am pro independence but in the case of Puerto Rico, they wish to become a state like Maryland, Virginia, California, Florida, etc. These are states, not territories. They have representation in the federal government.

@Willie I think DC deserves statehood as well, Puerto Rico has just been grossly neglected for too long. As for the others, I think they should be allowed to decide democratically if they wish to remain territories or seek independence.

@Preety_India Racism

@Preety_India I think there is a culture barrier between us because I have no idea what you are talking about!? The US territory of Puerto Rico wants to join the United states of America as the 51st state, this has nothing to do with destroying their ethnicity or culture.

@Preety_India The majority of the vote favored statehood. AKA becoming the 51st state of the United States.

@Preety_India https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/524590-puerto-rico-votes-in-favor-of-us-statehood They want and deserve representation!

We will move forward through decisive political action otherwise known as "Vote blue no matter who." I also don't think the republican party will be willing to bet on another trump for sometime to come. The next republican will at least be stage orange rather than red I'd hope.

@PurpleTree Because there is a kid out there who wants to play video games and I think he should be able to play video games.

@PurpleTree America needs to fill the superpower vacuum until a strong UN or EU can take it's place. A strong conscious world government would be delayed by centuries if America were to be usurped by Russia or China. As for its imperialism, America will eventually be majority stage Green at least in my lifetime.

@vibv I think the discussions on this forum should be more substantive, this is more up r/askreddit's alley.

@PurpleTree Would you prefer Russia or China? I'd prefer America continue to have a dominant position on the world stage.

@Hsinav Let your son play fortnite, it's just a game for gods sake! Now delete this thread because it has nothing to do society or politics!

@Ananta You voted for a man that literally declared himself the victor before the election concluded. This is how you think modern democracy should be orchestrated? The end of the American empire can be attributed to 3 kinds of people Bootlickers Racists Idiots

Preserving anti-intellectualism, adopting fascism, and accelerating the decline of the American empire? There is literally no intelligent or good natured reason to extend this reign of terror! I have watched this man bring my nation to its knees! His administration has irreparably damaged the civil stability of this country and everything it was founded on! He is contesting 200+ years of democracy because his ego is too weak to admit defeat! He has hurt everyone in this country including himself! I wish Leo would delete vacuous threads such as this!

If you are conservative, feel free to ignore this advice!

U.S. military expenditures are roughly the size of the next seven largest military budgets around the world, combined. NATO is an intergovernmental military alliance between 30 North American and European countries with the U.S accounting for nearly 70% of its funds. America has 7 active fleets patrolling the worlds oceans as well as military personal deployed in 150 countries. My question is if all the above was not true would the world be a more war ridden place? Why wouldn't China take military action against Japan, Korea, Taiwan, etc? Why wouldn't Russia take action to reclaim Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, etc? Sure America is bombing 7 or 8 countries but what would be the body count be if China and Russia had zero opposition from a superior power? Am I overlooking something and foolishly defending imperialism?

When a better and fairer society is over a lifetime away, why worry about politics? Even if the most progressive candidates are actually voted in (a pipe dream), wage slavery, income inequality, and all the problems of capitalism are not going to go anywhere anytime soon! So much of this country (America) is so underdeveloped they will actively fight against the best interest of everyone and majority of government will too! Understanding complex systemic issues, civil and military maintenance, and learning political theory is completely pointless unless you already posses a significant amount of power (You almost certainly do not!) in society which you can use to manipulate the system. Sure, you'll understand why Trump is bad, the limits of capitalism, how to make government more efficient, but does this really get you anywhere? What good is a conscious voter in an ocean of ignorant, misinformed, dogmatic voters? You can get rid of Trump but you can not get rid of what allowed Trump in the first place, that problem will persist long after you are dead. So forget Politics! AOC and Bernie Sanders cannot save you! The average person has a laundry list of problems that they need to solve on a daily basis just to survive and almost none of those problems will be solved by government! (Maybe in two or three decades?) Just look how the pandemic brought America to its knees! People are being fired and evicted, the second stimulus check is no where in sight, and the government seems to be in no rush to help anyone, it doesn't even pretend to be in a rush! Focus on yourself, be selfish, grossly selfish if you have to be, all that really matters is survival. Despite everything I wrote, please vote Trump out! He is hurting LGBT people and I am at least 2 of those letters!

Is imperialism red and blue?
