They legalized women’s suffrage and allowed women to hole public office in 1869, much sooner than any other state or the 19th amendment

They legalized women’s suffrage long before any other state.
That’s like saying, “Let’s not put the gun away even though the toddler is near it because there’s no guarantee the toddler will play with the gun”
A recent Supreme Court ruling gives the president sweeping immunity. Do you think Trump won’t abuse that to keep himself or one of his friends in power ad infinitum?
Is that a picture of kenneth copeland?
I either buy my tea at a convenience store in a can, or i put it in a large jug of water, leave it out in the sun for a few hours and then drink it with ice and a bit of sugar.
The taco is just an objectively inferior vessel for transporting food to your mouth. It has two whole open sides that are level with it’s base and it’s open to the air all across the top. It wouldn’t matter what you put on top. It will still spill out. You have to turn your head 90 degrees horizontal to eat a damn taco. Burritos are superior.
I have a question. Can states legally remove Trump from ballots before he has been formally convicted of inciting an insurrection? Doesn’t this just give the GOP ammunition and the option to turn around and do the same thing and remove Biden from red state ballots?

I disagree with your point that private organizations dont go against the status quo in the US. I can’t turn on any news agency in the States without seeing headlines about where the US government is failing. and which political party is blamed for said failure depends on the bias of the news agency.
I 100% agree that news agencies are biased to their business elites in the US, but the foreign policy bias you mention is more related to that news agencies’ particular politcal leanings.
I find it hard to believe that the business elites that own news agencies are trying to sway the american peoples view of china because they feel they are losing some petty competition to make more money. We’ve seen the global opinion of china fall greatly since 2008, mostly due to how china is treating its people through strict surveilance, its attempt to control its neighbors, its use of wolfe warrior diplomacy, and increase aggression on the global stage.
You make fair and valid points, but the propaganda the US government creates does not stand alone in the american media sphere. We have the freedom to explore other ideas on the internet or purchase movies, tv shows, music, and articles from all around the world with little to no censorship. Thus, american propaganda influence faces more competition than its chinese counterpart.
Can it really be called propaganda if the information doesn’t come from the US government? China’s news outlets are state owned. America has NPR and PBS, which are not particularly popular compared to privately owned news outlets in the US.
Imagine defending a failed authoritarian state that repressed and killed 10s of millions of its own people.

The people in this thread calling for AI overlords to take over for our governments and leaders dont understand that AI is trained to mimic human speech and behavior, not improve on it.
Even at a global scale? How would communism produce enough resources to sustain the human race while doing so ethically when at the same time removing all incentives by providing free food, shelter, clothing, entertainment, and everything else for free?
That concerns me because that creates a conflict of interest if the only people who can invite or remove people from the council are other members of said council. We see in the real world that breeds nepotism and corruption and makes non-violent policy change nearly impossible. Wouldn’t it be better to allow the people to choose council members and remove them by vote when necessary?
Would that require unlimited resources and automation to guarantee that level of productivity ethically?
Listen, I’m not defending the state, just explaining why they they picked the nickname.
