Oh I hear you. But I think we can create robust democratically accountable institutions that are also protected from destruction. Things like civilian oversight boards, ombuspeople, and unions having a stake. I'd even go wild and say use things like sortition to randomly select citizen "juries" with the power to veto defunding/destructive policies.

Edit: the Liberals aren't going to do any of that of course.

Oh I see what you mean. Not status quo situation but other possible schemes for perhaps more fine grained democratic control. Yeah I dig that.
