“>Yes there is.
>end of line”

So a national-level policy solution does exist? And it is an end of national-level policy? Well, sure… for expansive values of “solution”, that sounds about right.

” It was the policies all along! ” Of course not, it’s the Vile In Male Fides People in Govt.
As you correctly point out.

“There is no national-level policy solution to our current political crises.”
>Yes there is.

Whether or not it’s possible strikes me as an academic question, which I don’t typically trouble myself with. I’d prefer to think along the lines of, “What’s an effective way to do what needs to be done?” We’ll have a better idea of whether or not it was possible in retrospect.

“It’s how do we get real, meaningful autonomy back into the hands of cities and states all over the country? How do we get robust policy-making power into the hands of people who are both able and inclined to practice a governance familiar with and responsive to the people they govern?”

Forget “how”; what makes you think it’s even possible to do these things?

How do we get robust policy-making power into the hands of people who are both able and inclined to practice a governance familiar with and responsive to the people they govern?

Do we really want governance to be responsive to the governed? Is not the will of the governed always to rob the brave and diligent for the benefit of the vile and slothful?

It is the opinion of this commenter that the majority of the governed do not need or deserve a government that caters to their base inclinations. Rather, they need and deserve a government that puts them in their proper, lowly place.
