  1.  @shlee3120  there has been only one democracy since athens fell to macedonia. switzerland is close enough to democracy to demonstrate the possibility of democracy. the rest of those 'democracies' were not, they were elective aristocracies, a different thing entirely.

  2. you can't have rights, if you are not a member of the ruling group. you often have privileges, which are extended to you by the ruling group, while you make yourself useful to them. in the usa,the ruling group is the congress, supreme court and president. not the people. who are not citizens, they are civilians. a populace of ignorant, passive and alienated people can never be more than civilians, and frequently less. i'm sorry, you have no future. revolution is very hard and conditions in the usa are unsuitable. to begin with, the country people have most of the guns and will support the politicians. so there will be no shortage of police and soldiers defending the government. and forgive me, you think the electoral college is the source of your problems, you might even think trump is a one-off, delivered from mars by space balloon. from that intellectual base, you are not going to achieve anything.

  3. it was never a true democracy, and your confusion there, widely shared, is the source of most of usa problems.
