Democrats could easily run on opposition to Project 2025, which they have done. Project 2025 is policy.

Or maybe they are trying to appeal to voters but a lot of voters support Trump?

That might have been the case in 2016. I think that changed after the election of 2020.

The only alternative to an elected legislature (parliaments are different from congresses) is either direct democracy or one party rule.

I find it easier to respond to long emails because I can have all the documentation for the old email up and the text for the new email. Phones don't typically have the screen real estate to do that.

But that requires the public voting. In Mexico, it also requires planning out judicial succession as the executive branch has term limits and I expect this would get propagated to the judiciary.

The problem is that there is value in legal systems producing consistent results, especially when it comes to the kind of law both sides can spend millions on. Without consistency, the legal system backs up more than now as rulings are so wildly different that it makes sense to play the lottery with the courts. That causes cases to sit even longer and defense costs to raise higher for smaller participants.

And if the system doesn't perform well for those less advantaged, courts aren't the best place to defend making this systematic change. At best, it acts as a relief valve to pushing actionable political change.

Several states have elected Supreme Court Justices. Across the states, it has been seen that rulings are generally more inconsistent.

That said, Mexico has civil law instead of common law where legal precedent carries a lot less value.

Aside from racism, it is usually the belief that the new immigrants will either be economic competition for those with jobs or a drain on welfare.

Yes!

But this is really more of a crude simulacrum that can parrot out recorded bits of a person's life on command.

Both B5 and DS9 had bars on station, but have and space stations have a fast food restaurant?

This isn't meant to be a discussion on the morality of the embargo, but the affects of the embargo ending for both countries. These affects can be political, economic, or social.
