  1. real democracy has no use for parties. but usa was never a democracy.

  2. no, it doesn't. it is an elective aristocracy, and the elite never have enough, of anything. the main problem is that talking heads like to pretend usa is some kind of perverted democracy, which can be fixed. it isn't and it can't. revolution is necessary.

  3. usa was never a democracy, and voting for people is not democracy. it's elective aristocracy, effectively plutocracy, and that's what you've got. madison planned it that way, and would be pleased to see how effective his plan has been. if you use doublethink and newspeak to discuss politics, you are the problem, not the solution.

  4. no democracy problem, due to no democracy. the elective oligarchy is rotting, as any elite will do.

  5. in a democracy, the citizens decide. in the usa, they watch, or not, while their masters decide. mostly not. the usa is no kind of democracy. usa of the word is an orwellian double-think/newspeak tactic to keep the people ignorant and cowed.

  6. usa does not have a democracy problem. because it is not a democracy. perhaps it has an elective aristocracy problem, but you are unlikely to think of a solution if you imagine you have democracy, and don't.

  7. the founders intended that the rich should rule, unimpeded by democracy. don't know if this guy is ignorant, or paid to lie.
