Does the US need to outgrow Majoritarianism to survive? |

Does 'Rule by the Majority' work when those doing the 'ruling' are scared, ignorant, hateful, greedy, etc.?
Does it work if the Majority is incompetent?
NO!
Look at our country!
The Far Right has secret networks, think tanks, and a network of Megachurches getting out the votes of the "Wackos" (Thank you Mike Scanlon).
It's time to fight the Far Right.
The first action we can take is a parliamentary action.
We need to form a Coalition, that's right, a Coalition with those of us on the Left of us and on the Right of us. We won't get everything we want, but we won't lose everything either.
Winning elections won't be enough, it's time to take care of the RW Menace and this I think is the best shot we have.
