Just because our side isn’t as popular as you’d like doesn’t mean we don’t have democracy. Now what we do have is a flawed system with lots of mechanisms for a minority party to grind the gears to a halt, and incredibly low voter turnout especially among the far left.
The only way out is to vote in a supermajority of reps who want to fix the system. So vote blue this year, and start building an electable coalition for next cycle. Don’t just stand there, do something
Way to distill valid arguments down into “my side isn’t winning”. That is not what I said.
The US is an Oligarchy where corporate power makes the rules. Corporations have more power and less liability than citizens. And the power gap has been growing more and more since Reagan. Those are the facts. The system is so inherently broken and corrupt you aren’t going to fix it within the system. It is super naive to think otherwise.
There is zero accountability for political corruption and bribes so basically all of congress is bought and paid for (see AIPAC for example). Now that Chevron is overturned the supreme court gets to decide free from expert opinion what our constitution means. Where is the democracy in that?
