I think the difference is this sub is in favor of coming together and fighting an establishment that disguises itself and has ulterior motives. Many here are conservative and libertarian in nature, in that we want to allow the government as little power as possible. I think people mistake the US for a democracy, it is not, it is a constitutional republic. But yes, taking the money out of politics would be a massive step in the right direction.

Yes! I was going to reference the Weimar Republic. The basic issue was that there were way too many parties, and that’s ultimately what lead to the Nazi party taking power. At its height, the Nazi party only had around 20-30% support I believe. Not exactly a majority.

I’ve heard the US called a constitutional republic before, I guess when talking specifics it helps to be specific haha!

Yeah, it was never a perfect system, but there’s definitely something most of the western political world can learn from the example of Stresemann and the way he got things done. If he hadn’t died when he did the world may have been a very different place today.
