1. (1) NC. Yes. A micro AND a macro option would be lovely.
2. (1.)
Eh
(2) This is why agreed w/ @MinnesotasChef's fairly good acknowledgedly. I get it, but I still think it's trash. You want to give me equal party business when you want I want to give me equal party business. I don't like it, and does put ppl in power b/c that's the man or woman you're running w/ that implements laws and regulations that I "have" to abide by. It's like telling an artist they have no creative control
3. Because contrary to popular belief not everything is black & white. Black & white views is literally why this system is so **** now. This country is literally built off of ****ty black & white views w/ on overwhelmingly outweighing the other. It's like the concept of counterbalance is obsolete.
All forms civilizations have appointed leaders, government is just another word for that. Anarchy could definitely work, & cause ppl to be more responsibility, imo. I mentioned b4 seeing ppl naturally coming up w/ a clear & coherent system when the lights went out on multiple occasions. It's a natural instinct thing. Anarchy doesn't mean go out to rape the nearest lamb & go w/o consequence if caught.
1. You want open primaries, fair enough. I mean I have a preference for a system but I don't care that much.
2. (1) I dunno what this is. And to be honest I don't feel i want to know.
(2) Dude there are general elections. You have a chance to vote for whomever you like in a general election. Joe Biden has no power to affect laws right now. If you don't want to vote for dude, then don't. If you want to vote for Bernie or Pete or someone else in the fall, write them in. A primary nominates people for an election, a general election hands them political power. You are not being frozen out of deciding who implements laws that you have to abide by. You are being frozen out of having a say in who a political party you don't want to be a member of, is gonna nominate for the election that matters.
(3) You are gonna have to flesh out this argument more. Because politically, the period of modern history we we saw the least about of partisanship and the parties were more ideological diverse minorities didn't Civil Rights. It was when one party committed to it giving them that, and the other committed to fighting against that, did the parties start to realign. Some things should be black and white. A negative peace for the sake of compromise always seems like a good idea to someone when their issue is not the one being ignored .
BTW, most recently the most successful third way political movements have need animated by white nationalism and white supremacy.
Some things should be black and white.
In regards to anarchy, I did not make the argument that we need a government just to maintain law and order. That is not even my made issue with it. Anarchist will **** on the current system (some of their arguments are extremely valid) but always act like the alternative (which as never worked) is so simple. Anarchy is not just the absence of government as we see it now, anarchy is the absence of all formal governing bodies. If your country has leaders that makes decisions for the people, by way of elections, war, witan, etc. it is not an anarchist state.
There is not model in another part of the world we can follow, no model from even recent history, not serious theory of how to get all the functions of government does from big and small. Like who builds the roads, so inspects the food, who maintains the bridges, who keeps the birds off of runways. Who protects workers? Who protects the consumers? Some will try to say communism is that answer but again a) Whereas that **** worked to good result? b)Where is the model for it c) A classless society still doesn't address the issue of who or what will be responsible for all the activities that formal government organizations do. And that is mainly speaking on the economic side, anarchy will do nothing to lessen white supremacy. In fact it will probably animate it even more.
And when this is brought up the anarchist reply is usually a criticism on the current system and not explanation of how the things they are advocating will work. I am not happy with the standard quo in many areas of society, damn nearly all. If I could snap the Infinity gauntlet to create my ideal socio economic system it would look much more like a socialist state. But for right now, I am not support a form of society who argument basically follows...
1. Overthrow current government
2. Install anarchist society
3......
4. Utopia
