Elections don’t work when education has been systematically degraded. Elections don’t work when there are no restrictions on the amount of contributions that oligarchs can contribute to a political candidate. Elections don’t work when there is no safeguard against election tampering. Elections don’t work when oligarchs own the media.

The Statue of Liberty symbolizes freedom and opportunity, representing the ideals of liberty and democracy. Originally a gift from France, it has become an iconic welcome for immigrants arriving in the United States, embodying hope and the pursuit of a better life. The USA has turned the Statue of Liberty into a travesty.
“violated Treasury policy”, “previously resigned”, “found to have broken protocol”, “a lawsuit from 19 state attorneys general”, etc. This just doesn’t mean anything anymore. There is no law.
Oligarchs are buying up and controlling all media. When they control the media, they not only control the news, they can literally manufacture the news.
This is dictatorship. There is no longer a “Law of the Land”.
Science is not about government, or right and left, or free speech. It’s just science. It’s about individuals spending their lives studying a specific subject. Politicians who know nothing about those subjects should have no say. I shudder to think what might have happened during the polio outbreak under today's U.S politicians.
