Rather than “consent of the governed,” we have “Damned Rascal Democracy.” The system is rigged so presidents capture far more power than the Constitution allows. https://t.co/vTSEmOsKYW

Voting isn't what it used to be. This year, Krispy Kreme is offering a free donut to people who voted. In 2016, Madonna offered [redacted] for Hillary voters. https://t.co/9dSQk47LoK

Is faith in “American exceptionalism” blinding people to a death spiral of American democracy? There's no reason to expect either Trump or Biden to "make America constitutional again." https://t.co/vTSEmOsKYW

"It is naive to expect governments to descend step-by-step into barbarism—as if there is a train schedule to political hell with easy exits along the way." https://t.co/9TK94CIkn4

Politicians nowadays treat Americans like medical orderlies treat Alzheimer’s patients, telling them anything to keep them subdued. It doesn’t matter what untruths people are fed because they'll quickly forget. https://t.co/9TK94CIkn4

Having a vote does nothing to prevent a person from being molested by the TSA, spied on by the NSA, or harassed by the IRS. https://t.co/gu0ZrQ3glc
