    My Chinese wife does this all the time.

    It can make following a story so hard because people with gendered pronouns hang so much of the story on she said that to him and when the pronouns switch mid story even though she is still talking about the same person I am instantly like wow this doesn’t even make sense. How is he now saying stuff to her, I thought he blocked her or something similar.



  • Yes but what if the people choose a terrible representative. We need a system that limits their options to people we choose. Ideally they only get two options we vetted.

    But I’m afraid that won’t even be enough, we should come up with a system where the people aren’t directly voting on those representatives but other people will then go and vote on behalf of the people. That way we can divide things so even if the people vote with a majority we can still claim they didn’t get enough electoral votes to win. Since these are next level voters we can call them something like a college of electors. We should also make sure these electors are not distributed equally among the population.

    I’m afraid that still wouldn’t be enough for the ruling class to maintain power. Maybe we should also divide their votes into arbitrary lines. We can call them districts. They won’t correspond to any other districts and we can arbitrarily change districts when it’s in our favor.

    Even with all that I think we will have to occasionally come up with more measures. Maybe we can jail people for minor crimes more than every other nation in the world and take away their voting rights after they’ve been jailed. We can target specific groups and make new laws that allow us to remove from the system those whose votes would be unfavorable.

    Perhaps then and only then will we be a beacon of freedom and hope to all those who wish to be a nation ruled by the people.
