I do not think centralizing control and decision making is the answer to that. What little decentralization America has rn is exactly what is protecting states like Maine from being completely in the pocket of fascists. The answer is further decentralization to the point people do not have power over others.

There are very good cases for decentralisation. But if you’re going to have national elections whose results affect the entire country, the rules for them should be consistent and overseen by a nonpartisan national body, not by the highly partisan state legislatures of each state.

  I don’t believe we should have nation elections. I believe in horizontally organized systems, not hierarchical ones. So that seems to be the misunderstanding.

    There’s no misunderstanding, just pragmatism. I’m saying that the fact is that today there is a national government, and that elections for that government should not be run in a fractured way that makes it easier for bigots to take control.
