In honor of Independence Day, let’s all make a commitment to unity in the face of the upcoming Presidential election. Whoever wins, in order to keep our government, economy, and society functioning, we need to set aside thoughts of resistance, riots, strikes, insurrections, and walk-outs and come together to accept the rightful winner (after all valid legal arguments have been settled). We have our world standing to protect and critical issues that need to be addressed in a bipartisan way—comprehensive immigration reform, tackling our national debt, ensuring quality education for the next generation, stabilizing our social safety nets, rebuilding our military strength, and so much more. It’s time to stop attacking our democratic processes and institutions and restore faith in electoral outcomes and judicial rulings. You can’t create a government that gives you what you want all the time in a beautifully-diverse country such as ours. Compromise is baked into our system and is a feature of strength, NOT failure. This next President will be the President of these United States and all citizens, regardless of who each of us might have voted for or preferred. Country over party, Unity over division. Peace over resistance. Happy July 4th! 🇺🇸 #independenceday #4thofjuly #4thofjuly🇺🇸🇺🇸 #4thjuly #unity #peace #countryoverparty #nolabels #presidentialelection #government #society #economy #foreignpolicy #immigration #immigrationreform #bipartisan #unityoverdivision #commonsensecitizen #nationaldebt #education #nextgeneration #presidentoftheunitedstates #military #democracy #democraticprocess #electoral #judicial #judicialruling #usa #unitedstates

There are several systems of government, each with its own characteristics and methods of governance. Some of the main systems of government include: 1. Democracy: A system where power is vested in the people, who exercise it either directly or through elected representatives. 2. Monarchy: A system where a single individual, usually a king or queen, holds supreme authority and power is typically passed down through hereditary succession. 3. Republic: A form of government in which the country is considered a "public matter," and power is held by elected officials rather than a monarch. 4. Parliamentary System: A system where the executive branch derives its legitimacy from and is accountable to the legislature (parliament), with the head of government typically being the leader of the majority party or coalition in parliament. 5. Presidential System: A system where the executive branch is separate from the legislative branch, with the president serving as both the head of state and head of government, elected independently of the legislature. 6. Federal System: A system where power is divided between a central government and regional or state governments, with each level of government having its own sphere of authority. These are some of the main systems of government, though variations and combinations of these systems exist in practice around the world. #leadership #everyone #democracy #society #Tinubu #GoodGovernance #nigeria #RuleOfLaw

There is a political awakening in America right now. Third party candidates are surging. People are tired of the two zombie parties and are ready to make a change. It is time. Because politicians have a grip on all aspects of are lives. Wars, healthcare, economy, environment, pharmaceutical industry, justice, guns, poverty, taxes, immigration, foreign policy, education, you name it. And politicians are no experts in these areas, they are instead beholden to lobbies. Time to fix the system. 2024 is the year of reckoning. #politics #democracy #foreignpolicy #domesticpolicies #gaza #palestine

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DEMOCRACY AND CIVILIAN RULE Democracy as we all know is the government of the people, by the people and for the people. Democracy is a government formed and owned by the people. Democracy is when the people are the government and the government is the people. In a true democracy, you can hardly differentiate the people from the government, you cannot separate the government from the people because the people and the government are one entity. In a democracy, the government gives to the people, provides and protects the people. Civilian rule is when few rich, cruel, crafty, unscrupulous men/woman not on military uniform but with a military mindset make use of every terrible means known by men to thrust their way into political power and manipulate the constitution to rule the people in any way they feel like. In a civilian rule, the people are far from the government just like heaven is far from the earth. In a civilian rule, the people are not the government, the politicians are the government. In a civilians rule, the government does whatsoever it wishes without consulting the people. In a civilian rule, the government keeps taking and milking the people until they milk them dry and make them the poverty capital of the world.

A series of loosely-connected national dramas For Persuasion Community, Yascha Mounk offers his take on the outcome of the European elections: "When voters headed to the polls across the continent on Sunday, most of them did not cast their vote to influence the way the European Parliament is going to vote over the next five years, or even to determine who should be the next president of the European Commission. Rather, they were making moves in a series of loosely-connected national dramas, rewarding the few governments that are popular and punishing the many that are not. And yet, these highly heterogeneous election results point to two major transcontinental trends. The first of these is the rise and rise of the populist right. In some countries, right-wing populists now dominate the political scene. Remarkably, these developments are fueled, not slowed, by young voters. A few years ago, David Frum admonished Democrats that, “If liberals won’t enforce borders, fascists will.” Moderate parties in Europe would do well to heed the same lesson. The second of these trends is in part a result of the first: The era of ideologically cohesive government has, for the time being, come to an end. The distinction between insurgents and the establishment is now as important as that between left and right. On both sides of the political spectrum, this double cleavage has effectively placed ideologically coherent governments beyond electoral reach. The places in which establishment parties on either the left or the right have an independent majority of their own are few and far between." https://lnkd.in/eD2aK-dF #europe #EU #EUvote #politics #politicalrisk #geopolitics

This Milei speech is truly a MUST WATCH. A full and complete dismantling of socialism predicated on historical facts, and statistics. The Libertarian movement is one of freedom, peace and prosperity. Free market capitalism is the way... not the repressive collectivism, propagated by crony capitalists and disguised as "social justice." This year we have 41 nation state elections globally (the most ever in recorded history).... THIS is our time to swing the pendulum back in the direction of freedom, peace and prosperity. https://lnkd.in/gBs83s-E

Is it a yearning for more political freedom, or a demand for the more mundane economic necessities of life which drives large waves of mass protests against authoritarian regimes? Do we interpret the demand for freedom in these protests in the narrow sense of holding elections, or does it also include deeper democratic reforms in the form of institutional checks on the ruler? Are more democratic regimes necessarily more politically stable? In this paper with Tariq Basir , we empirically examine these questions in the context of the Arab Spring. https://lnkd.in/eFJPxZfY South Asian University #justpublished
