  5. #UK’s #election shows the flaws & strengths of democracy
    "results in particular provide a resounding reminder of e need for #modesty in #publicoffice, w #Starmer declaring UK had “voted decisively for change, for national renewal & a return of #politics to #publicservice”. Their reminder is tt, whether a #democracy or not good #governance isn't guaranteed.. Often it isn't the political architecture tt determines good governance, but the #integrity of the people tt govern"

  6. The goal for this year is not to focus on removing #conservative from public office; that is a negative goal.

    The goal is to get #progressives into #publicOffice.

    Each #candidate can self-select which group they want to be in. The selection is based on their history, actions, and deeds. Their words and statement only serve as a 1st impression.

    I ask everyone around the world to take this step.

  7. In my area, a woman named "Breezy" is currently running for #PublicOffice. Now, I've never met Breezy and I have nothing at all against her. But I do have a message for all the prospective parents in the Fediverse: if you want your future daughter to be taken seriously, maybe don't name her after a My Little Pony character.

  8. U.S. politics: I move that all candidates for any judicial, AG, state or federal legislative, gubernatorial, or executive seat 𝙈𝙐𝙎𝙏 take & pass the U.S. citizenship naturalisation civil exam in order to qualify.

    Thoughts?

  9. @ewolff Rules the United States might want to adopt, 78 years after their sons & daughters gave their very best to defeat Nazism & racism thousands of miles away from home — but not at home.

  10. Do you think politicians that knowingly work against the proper functioning of a government should be penalized and potentially excluded from holding public office?

  11. @Sunspot Actually it shouldn't be that hard to protect the people & their democracy against fellas like Trump & DeSantis:

    Barring sociopaths from running for & holding public offices needs to become law of the land.

    Checking if a person is old enough & was born in the U.S. delivers no protection against personified national security threats.😉

  12. @Barbramon1 @Ulrich_the_Elder @liroso Exactly what I'm thinking of.

    People will enjoy more protection, when public offices are protected against foreseeable abuse of power by candidates of whatever party, who lack the responsibility, sense of duty to serve, social awareness & a moral/ ethical compass to correctly distinguish between right & wrong.

    In short: Make sure to keep inevitably destructive sociopaths away from public offices.
