While I am a supporter of Ukraine in this war, I can agree with almost everything else in this article. Our democracies are way out of balance.

And Jesus told us not to look at the speck in our neighbor's eye when we have a plank in our own eye. Just think about if we had tried to remove our own plank first!

While I invented my Tiered Democratic Governance in 1992, I didn't get all the pieces put together until 2009. Then I put up a website, worked the internet forums, and spent a few thousand dollars on Google ads for Americans to learn about this new way.

No one was interested.

My 4.5 years on Medium are producing the same result.

The USA cannot afford another four years of itself.

The USA cannot afford its great democracy that it has exported around the world.

Meanwhile, back in Medium reality, the cheerleaders are happily anticipating the day Donald Trump does go to prison and/or Joe Biden wins with an "impressive" 53 to 47 margin.

Or maybe something as trivial as the Hunter Biden laptop does hand a legitimate election to the authoritarians.
