Am I the only one that believe the US has to go through some sort of painful transition/civil war/revolution to fix it? Is reforms from Democrats enough?

      The bourgeoisie will not allow their power to be voted away. There’s a reason the choices in the voting booth are always so narrow; you’re only allowed to vote for a candidate that they’ve pre-approved and bankrolled. Vote or don’t, it doesn’t actually matter.

      you could say the same of every democracy that has ever existed, and yet they did (and do) exist.

      I have a feeling we would disagree as to which countries are actually democracies.

        I am curious, what is one country you would be willing to call a democracy?

              The other actually existing socialist states: Cuba, the DPRK, Vietnam, and Laos.
