I mean the same can be said of anything. This is why the fight for for liberty never ends, because every day is a day some jackass can get into power and start claiming elections are rigged.


>"This is why the fight for for liberty never ends”

I find it odd that you’re invoking Liberty when your proposals involve forcing everyone into the same system.


liberty does not mean "100% freedom of decisions in all matters". We already accept that you cannot drive without the same basic rules of the road. We already restrict that I cannot buy a tank and drive it up park avenue fully loaded because I am wealthy enough to do it. Freedom is not an absence of restrictions, freedom is the society deciding what restrictions we want and having healthy debates on the efficacy of those restrictions, vs what dictatorial governments decide with no chance of debate, scrutiny, or follow-through.

This one we would collectively have to accept as a necessary limitation because it would improve many things, and specify exactly how far that limitation should extend. That's the point.
