    Hmm, but who should we blame then? Our two headed oligarchy is nearly the worst possible attempt at a democracy amongst the developed world and yet it was designed to be as difficult as possible to improve or replace.

    Of all the problems the US has, our lack of a functioning democracy is by the most frustrating.

      Time itself and modern fascism?

      It’s not super surprising that the first modern attempt at federal democracy would have some bad takes, but no system can function when half of the people in it are bad faith actors.
