Aren’t you Butch Ware, the Green Party vice presidential nominee and candidate for governor of California, and therefore an American?
Elsewhere in this thread, Gormadt told you to run for office. You said “I did”, and linked to a news story about Butch Ware messing up the paperwork to run for California governor. So it seemed like you were saying you’re Butch Ware, an American.
It’s an outrageous claim, but I am not in the habit of disagreeing with people about who they are. Though I may see fit to question perceived inconsistencies.
Pretty sure America is the most obvious place this would be referencing.
It has to be a FPTP country, and it has to be a country with so few possible parties that the choices are bad or worse. Not to mention it has to be a country with free and fair elections.
Elections in the US are far removed from free and fair, especially now we’re past Louisiana v. Callais and SCOTUS can and will veto any efforts by Congress to reform them.
Ellie Mystal pointed out that was a risk of civil war: If congress were to strip SCOTUS of jurisdiction (no longer decides what is Constitutional or not) and the court then responds by saying that law is unconstitutional, the blue states side with Congress while the red states side with the Court, and we have a crisis that cannot be resolved by institutional procedure.
Personally, I’d like to see more of They’ve made their ruling, now let them enforce it. But as we recently saw with the Virginia redistricting referendum, their governor obeyed in advance.
Your Americentrism is repugnant. Please keep it in your country.

How many countries fit that bill?

SCoTUS has neither a military nor a law enforcement arm. With enough political will there is nothing they can do to stop court reform.

Scroll up. You’re scaring the Aussies, Bri’ish, & Deutsche in this /c/.
Finding @uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone was talking about omnium California midterms took a secondary retort to press.
Ahistorical take, or rhetorical?
