It’s a serious question because the president is elected so it’s not just “hey you need to step down”.

  • Definitely Musk shouldn’t be a part of things.
  • Definitely the courts should be listened to (but what that means as a demand I don’t really understand)
  • Definitely reign in the presidential orders, reduce their scope or number or SOMETHING

I mean, I’m not the guy to do this. But what exactly kind of things could be done to control this crazy ass situation?

EDIT: I’m taking about how we can restore and reform the United States, not visions for a new entity.

    CGP grey has some great videos on gerrymandering, and according to him there are 3 options to combat gerrymandering:

    1. Politically independent commission of appointed experts or judges to draw the boundaries (not ideal)
    2. Mathematically: shortest split-line method of drawing boundaries (can occasionally skew results, probability based)
    3. Intentional gerrymandering (benevolent) to try to make the representation as proportional as possible (odd)

    I’m sure there are other options but to me the best is probably #2 paired with a single-transferable vote.

      You shouldn’t change the gerrymandering, you should be changing the voting system that makes gerrymandering possible in the first place.

        I agree! What voting system doesn’t make gerrymandering possible?

            Yeah I guess that would work! Do you know of any countries that currently use that system?

                I don’t know if they’re the best example considering their elections are almost definitely being manipulated like a lot of the world’s superpowers
