Lee, I was wondering if you could do a deep dive on one of your political theories.

You mentioned once about the US having 'five presidents' and I was intrigued by the idea.

Given the US appears to be facing a coming civil war (Colorado Ballot initiative and Texas refusing to let Federal agents into Eagle Pass), I think ideas on replacement political systems ought to be discussed, especially given how corrupt the current one is.

I know you're busy, but a lot of people are focused on the problems rather than solutions and it sounded like you might have some great ideas on the topic.

sure, let's do a space one day. I have lots of ideas but they all involve giving LESS power to the leaders. guaranteed to work.

I was hoping for a Substack article detailing your political ideas. Twitter spaces admittedly does not work for me (I can listen but I can't speak/interact).

My only ideas involve Constitutional Direct Democracy (I wrote a few on The Daily Beagle but they weren't well liked), but after seeing how the public have behaved in the last 3 years, I've lost some faith in my idea, so I'm at a loss of how to improve the political situation.

Devolving power away is a good idea in any case.

and politics ALWAYS comes into the picture when discussing medicine because medicine IS about discussing what is BEST for humanity and since LEADERS who don't know medicine or science are often leaders, it IS important to discuss politics. It's a MUST. and that said? I am a FIRM believer that the DEMS philosophy is utterly retarded

I personally think political parties are basically the same shit coloured differently (Red or Blue for sirs mRNA shot?). I could not name any meaningful difference, especially when it comes to the mRNA shots. I see a lot of talk by parties, but not much action.
