Good idea … how about just a system where everyone elects a regional representative and leave it at that.

No political parties, just political reps representing their region.

What about a ring that gives the wearer supreme power?

What about a gauntlet that requires gems of state reps. And it has a 50% of working and a 50% of killing whoever is wearing it. But when it works, it has a 50% chance of making things worse.

Intriguing perhaps some additional rings could be forged simultaneously to enable greater synergy through delegation of power to representatives of various species states, parties etc

No, communism has a centrally planned, state-directed economy. Only some executive functions are regional, but the power also lies at very few people in the end.

But they all have to pool military power and resources to maintain an active army. So I guess we’ll just have to select one Secretary General who leads them. /s

But then how would we have a Supreme Court to rule all of heaven and earth like self appointed god kings?

Does it have to be connected to the dirt I live near? Maybe we can all vote for people and those with more votes can represent us more?

I get there are regional issues, but not everything is regional.

Except every Soviet was eventually dominated by one political party, with no competition against it allowed. That’s a far cry from “everyone just elects the best representative for their region no parties”

Maybe centralizing that much power under one person is folly and we should split up the powers of civilian head of the military, head of the executive branch of government, veto power over the Senate, and whatever other powers have encroached into the office.

Ban all political parties except cat people party and dog people party. All debates will just be submissions of each party cutest animal.

Put all horse girls on a watch list. Put snake people in charge of the CIA.

I’d say he’s just slightly better than the worms in RFK Jr’s brain, but just barely.

He should drop out.
