activists address readers, everday people, and lawmakers? Some even admanently refuse to engage in certain political realms and speak with lawmakers. I am not following how his statement leads to your ethic?

and was targeted by their center left organizational and institutional allies such as unniversities and labor unions to name a few

they genuinely think posting is a form of resistance. The white academic poster especially. Posting this react, and any take really, makes them feel a part of the fight. Best to ignore and keep it moving.

yes I agree, I just think the system you want to return to, led to the broken situation we are in now. And using the tools available to us, including the unitary executive, are the only chance we have to fixing it

I think our system has created structural facts that do not stop the guy in charge from doing stupid shit and also stop the guy from making the radical changes necessary to save the planet.

yes, and the next president should use it effectively, which is what your quote tweet was arguing for

and number 2 can include fixing congress and the courts to make them more effective tools for the people but it involves the left wielding executive power in an "unprincipled way"

No I do not think so, I think highlighting how the system failed reveals 1) there inherent flaws that should not be revered and 2) that a unitary executive will be needed to address the dire social problems we face

i do apologize for turning up the heat on this convo and should not have done so

yes i agree our current system of checks and balances is ineffective and broken

I think a three term president that goes to war with the Courts and issues executive orders to combat a broken congress would better than Obama 2.0 (who also ignored checks and balances, via drone striking americans or waging war without congressional approval).

he would have fed more without a senate or judicial review

our checks and balances were and have been a bad idea. FDR explicitly went to war with the Court bc the Court restraining him was bad and hurt people to big business. He also issued over 1000 executive orders that were definitely illegal. If the Court prevents us from feeding ppl we should ignore it

fdr destroyed checks and balances and ushered in a new era of prosperity, checks and balances don't house, feed, or keep people safe, and it certainly won't stop the planet from burning. The checks and balances u revere were written by slave owners to help slave owners.

the error was inserted after filing by ai, your honor

no they will just change the rule again

how does this change/difference alter what solutions you would put forth?
