Meh, terrorist psychopath musk is still alive and unjailed, therefore able to modify any election result.

I think our "election season" is entirely way to long! Six months would be enough and way less money, please.

I agree. Would love to boot the Orange Mess out of office.

You’re right about that

Snap elections! You mean, actual democracy in action? God forbid. How could Republicans gerrymander and fiddle the system at short notice?

The US doesn’t have “Responsible Government”. But, if the Republican Party “loses confidence” in its leadership, its members could create Responsible Government by: Resigning in large numbers. Forming a Third Party. Joining the Democratic Party. Such tactics would give more power to The People.

Term limits for Congress would be nice. Similar to Amendment 22.

Could the Democrats run on giving people the power to do it in certain conditions?

I've been thinking the same.

I’m Canadian. Where we have snap elections - and just sharing some info on how they work.

No Confidence vote, Recall Trump!

Bingo bango I ain’t voting for anything else!

Never too soon to start! *snap*

I think you need some action more direct than an election right now.

We need to amend the Constitution to give us the mechanism of vote of no confidence followed by snap elections.

And take away two years of political circus that hauls in billions?!? Why, that…. Makes too much sense

Even impeaching and removing doesn't trigger an election. It simply puts Vance in the seat to do whatever he wants. Is that an improvement?

well you can bet that under this administration at least, we won't.

Should be a line item in the Democrat’s Project 2027 Manifesto.

Not enough to Save an Authoritarian from being removed and IMPRISONED for crimes against HUMANITY!

I think that one of the most disheartening things people are grappling with is that it’s really hard to imagine any mechanism capable of addressing the most broken and corrupt administration ever that wouldn’t immediately be used and abused on the next Democrat to win the presidency.

Ah but there is a way. Message me or go to @libertyandjustice9.bsky.social we are getting a conversation going and i have answers and solutions!

It's hard to rigg snap elections.

Isn't an oppressive government the reason why the US has liberal gun laws?

each State legislature should impeach Trump! Governors should then call for a national election.

I support a vote of no confidence

OMG, YES! "We have no confidence in this administration!" DONE! They are gone!

We do need to consider a process for the people to recall a horrific president in the future. 28th Amendment? I think the founders valued stability but never conceived a president would be elected who was so corrupt and a Congress would just rollover and enable him.

Yup. Still a shame they claim to uphold the Constitution. Clearly it's all talk.

Perhaps. Although a certain percentage of our country would need a “snap-out-of-it” election.

After living in Ireland for 11 years I’d say I think the Parliamentary system is a better form of democratic government. I don’t like saying that. It feels disrespectful. But I’m really starting to feel that way.

Am I the only one who notes the irony that the Westminster system of Parliamentary government, which developed in the British Empire after the US revolution, seems to provide a more resilient and reactive form of Democracy?

👀

Completely agree

Demand the RESIGNATION of ALL MAGA MEMBERS, INCLUDING TRUMP!

👍

No reason we the people can’t make our own executive decision. It’s not like our current prez is following the laws. He needs removed sooner than later.

That would be awesome!

Technically impeachment would work if we impeached enough people.

Parliamentary systems are more democratic by far.

To all the friendly 2nd amendment folks, get the right tool and train. If you say you want to keep your pew-pew toys in case the government goes rogue.... Well, what's this? If you do nothing then you lose your right to that argument EVER AGAIN.

How about regime change?

Sure could.

If elections are honest.

Yes. Have elections the way Canada does. Limited money and duration.

It’s too bad we don’t have a parliamentary system of government…

.. or referendums and recalls. I think every state should have the ability to recall a congress member and for ballot referendums. Perhaps we need these on a national level too.

Yes, unfortunately it's a large defect in our constitution that no such mechanism exists at the federal level.

Yup..

Something that we should change.

A “Motion of Non-Confidence” sure comes in handy in any nation’s political tool box! This inability to confront a major assault on democracy is a significant “American” flaw allowing creeping authoritarianism to grow alarmingly!

AGREED!

It allows mass shootings and paedophiles to become president. But nothing that might be really good for millions of people.

We have to settle for reading the tea leaves of special elections … which admittedly has been quite fun recently

America needs compulsory voting - works like a dream in Australia

We allow pedos to run free though…Goodyear AZ here…our mayor sucks

Nope. Not yet. The most devoted among them still require more pain and suffering to see what they've done and how BAD it is. Hold. Hold steady. THEY haven't felt it yet.

Where are the Men on Film?

Good points.

We should be considering recalls where needed and allowed.

Zero

Or a vote of non-confidence - for ALL public officials

Like the PEOPLES emergency docket…

👍🏼

I've thought that for a long time. Hear, hear. ❤️🤍💙

Or election cycles are getting longer not shorter. Currently they are running 24/7 365 days a year. It’s all an excuse to collect more money

votes of confidence and parliamentary procedures are a thing of beauty that I wistfully think about as I look abroad.

I want Taco to be impeached so much, but according to the Dems listed, it’s a fruitless endeavor right now because the Republicans will squash it. I really want Taco to be sponsored to be impeached regardless because he will forever be negatively branded in history. He deserves that much.

Facebook is a subliminal algorithms propaganda messaging machine controlling the US population; "Zuckerberg Trump's second top 1% pedophilia inauguration", "f****** Barnum and Bailey was right; "suckers are born every minute especially after controlling the AI Media" or "Ghislaine Maxwell's pardon"!

This!

But that doesn't preclude the Congress voting on a referendum of approval. Though it wouldn't have any consequences.

Finally a reason to whip out my voter Id that carry all the time like there will be some sort of emergency vote I need to rush to.

And why not? They have constant elections anyhow. Why not a referendum election on Trump/Putin attacking the world causing WW3, Trump immune from his murders/rapes/theft/fraud/treason, SCOTUS and Nazi oligarchs treason, + the fat-ass small-dick proud boys dressed up as ICE - the whole bit.

The US constitution needs and full revamp. But I trust no-one in power to do the right thing so we the people will eventually have to take matters in our own hands.

It's too bad there's no Constitutional option for states to recall their members of Congress. Most states have ways to recall state and local officials, but it seems the only thing we can do on the Federal level is to demand their resignation. This needs to be fixed after the regime falls.

‼️

Maybe Project 2029 comes out with a Parliament plan for us? Seems like the next logical step, and maybe more fair and representative.

Needs to be a democracy too
