Cool. But you legally can. But you probably shouldn't.
Okay. Cool. Good call.
honestly the 'pardon' ability needs to go away completely. maybe it made sense before, and/or wasnt abused, but now it just seems prepped to be a tool to release your fellow felons in crime.
The way American politics are going, you need a full reset. There is no power that is not being abused but powers are needed for a government to work
What's the most recent example of "full reset" for a comparable nation with the economic output, military power, or population size similar to America? The USSR? Any examples that are more successful?
I'm not arguing that change isn't needed, it is, but what's realistic. Especially when going up against those with the greatest vested interest in status quo, those brainwashed to rail against what's in their best interest or the greater good, or those too apathetic to engage with any of it.
Democracy was widely regarded as a failed experiment in antiquity up until the French revolution. There are multiple realistic avenues towards a "full reset", like everyone joining a union and then building new power structures around the existing ones.
"Realistic goals" at this point have simply become to move away from America until it goes the way of the Roman Empire, then come back to rebuild the ashes.
Realistic does not imply successful...
