A free nation which depends on its constituency to select the leaders who will control their government and their
modus vivendi, where about two-thirds (2/3) of its constituency votes and, for whatever reason, one-third
(1/3) of its able voting-qualified population does NOT – can only exist in a state of "electoral
dissonance"!
Unquestionably, the great majority of a nation's qualified voters are
NOT members of the privileged classes.
In our free nation, if every qualified voter were to cast his or her ballot, the candidates best qualified to understand and
protect their interests would probably constitute the electoral majority.
As it happens, although it behooves American voters to select the best possible qualified political candidates who will
manage our Constitutional Republic,
to their own detriment, a sizable, crucial number of qualified voters consider
voting as a useless waste of time – often
reluctant to vote!
In addition, said
reluctance to vote has unwittingly,
by default, given rise to misguided "voting
majorities" which have recently elected incompetent and/or currupt self-serving candidates!
For example, in 2020,
67% of American voters cast their votes while
33% (about 90 Million)
did not!
In 2024 – oblivious to the 2021 insurrection – to their detriment,
64% of Americans voted while
30% (about 80 million)
did not – allowing Donald Trump to be reelected, giving him the power to
continue with his intended tyrannical quest – ignoring promises he did not plan to keep!
The Value Of The Vote
Needless to say, the endurance of our Constitutional Republic depends on the
unwavering allegiance to the U.S.
Constitution of its
elected government leaders (a.k.a. politicians).
In order to be elected, said leaders, must convince the majority of its qualified voters that their
professed platform
promises will benefit their country and its constituents' interests, security and national pride.
Lamentably, these days, to convince their trusting constituents and get their votes, power-hungry wannabe leaders are
willing to deceive them – making promises they do not plan to keep!
In relation to the aforetasted, it seems that to a large segment of American voters, political affiliation, wealth concerns,
lower taxes, personal prejudices, etc., are of greater importance than anything else – including the uncertainty
and fear which is now enveloping our besieged, betrayed nation.
Given the
self-centered attitude of a certain type of American voters, for a certain ilk of habitually-deceitful
wannabe leaders, the task of deceiving their trusting, uninformed constituents is not so difficult to achieve.
In some cases, their false words and promises will suffice!
Moreover, a segment of those
individuals who do vote have no time, capability or desire to scrutinize their
ambitious
wannabe-leaders'
true or feigned allegiance to our Constitution – or their friendship
with the
enemies of freedom, i.e.,
Vladimir Putin,
Xi Jinping and
Kim Jong Un –
to name a few.
Of course, this self-serving vote-casting blunder is nothing new, as evinced by Donald Trump's deceived voters who now
regret having cast their votes for a shameless, disloyal insurrectionist who is still trying assiduously to become
America's tyrant king!
Apparently, since a great number of voters' political decisions are dictated by their personal
what's-in-it-for-me
inclinations, more often than not, they are generally inclined to ignore any truly informed sound advice which is counter to
their interests, while others lack the time or desire to be informed.
All said and done, as history will attest, chances are that our nation's self-centered voters' "political rebellion"
will most likely be a brief, short-lived, soon-forgotten reaction. In fact, Donald Trump's 2024 reelection exemplifies
the foregoing assertion!
In fact, consistent with the foregoing, if and when normalcy and prosperity are reestablished in our ill-governed nation,
deceitful, self-serving politicians will once again be around – demeaning and criticizing the policies and actions
of the patriotic leaders who will have brought our country to its
status quo ante – and, again, deceiving
self-interested, "What's-in-it-for-me?" voters!
The Leader Selection Problem
Although historically the duty of electing the candidates most qualified to lead and protect our country has depended on
its voting majority's decisions, considering the incertitude which has been enveloping our country – since
Donald Trump took office in 2025 – at this juncture, if our Democracy is to endure, changes commensurate with
our perilous times are imperative.
At this critical inflection point, insofar as the planner and inciter of the January 6th, 2021 insurrection was reelected in
2024 by a large segment of uninformed and/or deceived voters – who now detest Donald Trump's corrupt,
treasonous actions – it's time for a change!
Obviously, selecting leaders whose decisions and actions will unquestionably benefit all Americans requires a more
"up-to-date", rational and effective method of selecting said leaders.
Obviously, if "self-serving, tyrannically-minded,
power-hungry individuals will always exist in our complex
world", amendments commensurate with the
existential challenges which are facing our imperiled
Constitutional Republic must be ratified
A.S.A.P.!
Electoral Equality
If Thomas Jefferson's dictum, "All men are created equal" is to have any meaning, selecting the leaders
whose decisions and actions will affect the lives of all Americans, it is the duty of all Americans to select their
own leaders!
Until a few decades ago, our nation's "vote-if-you-wish" statute regarding U.S. national and state elections,
overall, with some exceptions, has served American citizens fairly well – likely due to the patriotism, character
and moral values of our country's previous cultures. However, that was then and this is now!
At this new epoch, the "old values" that sustained our country
during prosperous and critical hours have been supplanted by a
greed-is-good, wealth-mongering, would-be
capitalists whose primary goal is the attainment of wealth – and power – at the uncaring expense of
everyday Americans!
Worse, although wealth-mongering is not a crime in our taken-for-granted Constitutional Republic, to Americans'
detriment, our new, material, “more-is-better” era has made it possible for power-hungry capitalists – a.k.a.
Plutocrats –
1% of whom own 40% of our nation’s total wealth, to add even more wealth
to their already-brimming bank accounts.
Even worse, taking advantage of their excessive wealth, some Plutocrats are inclined to utilize their coveted wealth to
support and control
corrupt politicians willing to do their bidding – which is likely aimed at increasing their
wealth and power!
At this critical hour, unless, unequivocal, immutable, preventive measures are established
A.S.A.P., the
dangerous
wealth-lust trend which is consuming our nation will turn our free, allegedly egalitarian
Constitutional Republic into a tyrannical nightmare!
