Rebecca<p>What do people think of a lecture series on how government works? Does anyone know of any groups doing this? I live in a very red, small town, rural area and would like to make it as politically neutral as possible. But it feels like a good chunk of the populace has no idea how government works, how to contact your congressionals, etc. Please contact me with any resources or ideas, thanks!<br><a href="https://ohai.social/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>politics</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/civics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>civics</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/PublicEducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicEducation</span></a></p>

william.maggos<p>if every elected official had a fedi account on an offical govt server, what would be the point of calling their office vs just tagging them? wouldn't this make reaching out to them much more efficient? <a href="https://liberal.city/tags/civics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>civics</span></a> <a href="https://liberal.city/tags/SocialWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SocialWeb</span></a></p><p>Calling or showing up to their office does prove greater commitment than a post, but less people than all those who do care and might post would take those other steps. A way to prove who you are and where you vote (but obviously only if you want to) might be really valuable.</p>

Rusty Corgi<p>It's extremely headass that no one thought before now to say, "hey, maybe putting the bulk of the entire government under control of the executive branch and <em>one fucking person</em> is a bad idea."</p><p>Honestly, it baffles me how people rarely point out how fundamentally flawed the US government is beyond complaining about the electoral college. Every branch of government is designed like shit. The president has too much power, the Senate in its entirety is stupid, the House having a cap and letting states pick how they elect representatives is idiotic, and just, like, <em>all of the judiciary</em>. It's all shit.</p><p>A proper representative democracy needs to be as representative as possible while also being somewhat insulated from the reactionary whims of the populace. The US is neither. It lives to serve rich oligarchs, built on a terrible constitution that bent the knee to slave-owning southern plantations.</p><p><a href="https://cubhub.social/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://cubhub.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://cubhub.social/tags/Politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Politics</span></a> <a href="https://cubhub.social/tags/Civics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Civics</span></a> <a href="https://cubhub.social/tags/USConstitution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USConstitution</span></a></p>
