The Emperor needs some clothes and we need to admit the Emperor is naked.
What should be of bipartisan concern is the allegation of software based voter fraud which does not provide an audit trail.
The audit systems in place should be transparent and allow for a random sample of physical ballots from each polling station to be quickly audited.
This is not happening so I assume the systems cannot do this which is a fault or some people do not want it to be done which is also a fault.
Faults can and usually should be fixed
A random sample audit should quickly resolve the questions being raised - lets find a way
So we face another four years of acrimony to the detriment of the country. Rome in 405ce?
It would be great if the next years could be used to make sure voting systems were upgraded to ensure ID and secure voting status in strong
Fast audits of sample voting should be part of the voting process and carried out by 2 or more separate teams each noimated by the candidate parties involed then we might have trouble free elections in 2 years time and in 2024
Lets make a positive change
Most politicians thrive on differences by creating blocks of people who follow them.
Few leaders and no politicians resolve problems as they have too many interest groups to payback.
The only recent person I can think of who looked to resolve and not divide is Nelson Mandela.
All Empires decline very quickly at their end. Soviet, British, French, Roman, Greek, Persian, Mayan, Egyptian etc
Some get co-opted or taken over by other Empires.
No Empire seems to be able to stay at a stable point
In todays world Empire includes economic Empire like the USA or the EU which also have "independent" or semi independent client states and mostly do not directly have colonies outside their own state border area.
Super Empires have a strong military reach to enhance or add to their economic and political power
Empires collapse as trouble builds up within and is not addressed.
Structural problems center around elites protecting their wealth and jobs or leaders who launch projects at the expense of society and economic and political stability.
No leader ever says they were wrong - so we never really learn what not to do only how to hide mistakes.
Even in science there is rarely any objective study about why did we remain attached to old ways of thinking or dogma.
Instead its the old king is dead long live the new king
In the end the Empire - business, academic, political or military etc - is not economically able to pay for its lifestyle, administration and commitments or ideas and is taken over by others or breaks up into small states or fades away.
The asian Indian Empires of various times show all this as does the Roman Empire of the East and West.
Flat earth thinking shows this in science.
China is certainly expanding its Empire now while the USA and Europe fall apart with internal issues.
The European and Chinese past shows that both have phases of civil war. Let us hope that this time things are different
Free debate is an important central release system.
When "free" debate is only allowed within a politically correct criteria or pushed to one side by media filtering and control in favor of interest groups revolutions often happen. The English civil wars and the American war of independence are good examples.
The winners write the history. For the old English elite the winners in the USA or England were revolutionaries for the winners who became the new elite the winners were freedom fighters.
Respectful discussion of different opinions should be fostered and encouraged even after defeat or victory otherwise we will all suffer and be hurt by the lack of understanding that follows from closed societies or groups.
We should all remember that almost all groups seek to exclude those with different opinions while the group elite tries to maintain and expand power.
We see this in Russia, China, USA, France and other countries, as well as in industry, science, business, admin, universities and schools, the civil service and religion etc
Up to a point this can be OK but usually the established systems defend themselves from reform.
It seems it has always been this way or so we are conditioned
I hope we can find a way to positively expand humanity in a way that includes a balanced understanding of what it means to want to live being both a spiritually human being and functioning at a real life level instead of merely functioning as an economic, political, military or selfish real life being etc.
All parts of us need to be in balance otherwise our humanity is crushed by one or more real life dogma or belief dominating.
For example too much focus on business or military or not enough focus on long term results and benefits by only grabbing short term gains.
The Emperor needs some clothes and we need to admit the Emperor is naked.
