if you had democracy, you could improve usa in many ways. but you don't, so you won't. the usa was created to be an informal plutocracy, administered by an elective aristocracy, and madison told you exactly that. had to, to get the grandees of post-revolutionary usa to agree to enact the constitution. does no one get history in school, anymore?
democracy is rule by the citizens, not by politicians. when you claim democracy, you reveal ignorance or mendacity. and you pollute the language in a way described by orwell as 'newspeak' and 'double-think,' when he was attacking ussr. poor man, britain and usa are equally culpable.
