Well stated! I agree! I am a member of the Friends (Quakers) and that is also how we do our best to run governance. Sadly however it is not popular in our society, this we are few in number.,
I agree that the National Popular Vote is an end run. I also agree with your point about the three-fifths clause being the foundation we're still standing on. Currently, I see the National Popular Vote as a first step toward consensus, albeit one that involves dismantling that foundation. When Fani Willis was elected District Attorney for Fulton County, Georgia, she was asked what changes she could bring to Atlanta. Her response? "You can't change 400 years in 4, but we can start."
I learned your term “Europatricene “ and I’ve been using it expanded as Europatricene Domination Worldview. I feel it kills every living thing it touches because it functions by siphoning off the life force. It especially targets the Kinship Worldview people’s. 😫
My ancestors were all members of Europatricene Domination Worldview. I had to go back 6500 years to contact a well ancestor who had lived as an indigenous animist. She has helped me a lot.
Thank you for this series and your wisdom. I have seen consensus-driven decision making work miracles. I resonate completely with this series. Thanks so much.
You explain the situation we have evolved to as a country continuing to use the Electoral College as a way to ‘ignore’ the will of the people through popular votes in clear, precise and understandable language. How different it would be if the ‘winner take all was’ philosophy was jettisoned. It would certainly require compromise, a necessary lesson for both parties to help America move forward out of this political quagmire.
