Summary

Secretary of State Marco Rubio grew visibly frustrated during an ABC News interview when questioned about the Trump administration’s approach to Russia.

Defending Trump’s push for peace talks with Putin, Rubio insisted negotiations were necessary but admitted the administration didn’t know Russia’s demands.

He clashed with host George Stephanopoulos over Trump’s refusal to call Putin a dictator and the U.S. siding with Russia in a recent UN vote.

Rubio also compared Trump’s handling of Ukraine to Biden’s approach to Israel, further escalating tensions.

      It sounds awesome until you remember that we can barely get half our population to vote for president most of the time and that the average voter is uninformed and poorly educated.

        If you look at polling you often find the majority of Americans don’t actually agree with much of the actions of either party, I personally think direct democracy would lead to real progress and prosperity.

            I do not trust techbros to solve this correctly. It would be far too easy and tempting to game the system.

            Any political system needs to be able to function separate from electronic devices as there are times when the grid fails.
