Demockery

We need to stop pretending we live in any kind of a democracy. We don't have full suffrage - which is diminishing each election cycle, don't even have full representation with the paternalistic electoral college, corporations own the candidates, the media is road kill at the edge of the whole crashing mess, and the judicial branch is partisan and lacking in judicial comportment.

The important realization is that neither capitalism nor our current Corpocracy are compatible with our short term HUGE problem of facing our fast approaching Climate Tipping Point. 

We need to change our story - the fundamental belief that unending economic growth is either desirable or sustainable. It is not. We need a nature aligned story that is grounded in Thriving over Growing. Cancer grows unremittingly, but organisms thrive in a balanced ecological system. We can learn from Indigenous cultures and by using our own group wisdom to create sustainable systems. There are experiments in democracy occurring in small ways across the globe that need our attention and we the citizens can be empowered to use our combined intelligence to lead our selves out of this quagmire which corporations and owned politicians are not willing or able to do.

I'm just going to say it - the Constitution is a piece of writing created by a handful of people and parts of it are not helpful today and need changing - we can do that too.
