Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) announced Wednesday he plans to introduce articles of impeachment against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

Why it matters: The long-shot effort centers on two scandals currently rocking the Pentagon — a new report about Signalgate and allegations of a follow-up strike against an alleged Venezuelan drug boat.

    The first step is ranked choice voting for everything from local to federal elections.

    First past the post is literally the worst way to operate a voting system of your goal is to get an accurate representation of the populace.

      I’m very much in favor of the reforms of ranked choice and proportional representation (fairvote.org).

      But these aren’t really a replacement after we destroy the current system. More like incremental fixes for the current system.

      I’d still like to understand more about the vision of destroying (what’s the plan?) the system and what would come next (what’s part two of the plan?).

        Read some books about successful revolutions and the states that replaced them and get back to me. You’re asking me to explain an incredibly multifaceted and complicated thing with tons of historical context and political theory behind it over Lemmy and I am not willing to do that, these are things you will have to put time and effort into learning on your own lad.

          Wow, your tone is really strange for a place like the fediverse. It’s a place of discussion, and usually replies of interest and curiosity to a post or comment are met with enthusiastic responses of ideas and sources.

          If you’re willing to say “destroy” it, then it should be easy to a give a simple example of a replacement you prefer. Most systems people write about have a pretty short names or at least authors/titles. You could just pick one and name it. I’d love to know one you imagine would be better.

          I’m not asking what exists. I’m not asking you to explain any system. I can go learn all about it later.

          I’m asking you to give an example. Even as broad as: communism / anarchy / technocracy / Star Trek post scarcity utopia. And I am also curious how (protest/strike/voting/sabotage/armed revolution) I can work with you it get there since we may have the same goal.
