MODERATORS
America was NEVER a democracy, it was an oligarchy from the very beginning. Only rich, white males had any say according to the constitution. The senate was created to make sure the oligarchs could veto any real challenge to the power structure. Window dressing has changed over the years, but the fundamentals remain.
Eh. It had a few moments.
The fundamental structure of democracy still exists. I believe it is the people who are ultimately too alienated and terrified of one another to properly utilize it.
Hmmm, what flavor kool-aid did you get?
The one that has the elections and the candidates running popular campaigns and the people lining up in droves to participate.
