My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time.
No more hiding behind election terms.

He is dying. It’s clear to see. But he will drag us all down before he goes. He will starve as many children as possible and separate all the families he can. He will fill his already fat pockets with money meant for disabled veterans and the unhoused. He will spread misery until his last breath.

In a functional party system, this kind of capitulation in the face of authoritarianism could mean the end of the Democratic Party.
In our system, it could mean the end of the two party system. Neither party can represent the pro-democracy majority. It's time for something new.

Never forget that the only country in NATO history which triggered NATO article 5 is USA after a bunch of Arab terrorists took down some buildings in New York.
Now when Europe is in existential threat by former Soviets, the USA is throwing us bones and expecting gratitude.

A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.
