#132 u.s. was never meant to be democracy
From the beginning third parties were never allowed to get off the ground.
Plurality was never an issue, there would just be a runoff election, never a coalition government as in the the parliamentary countries.
It was most clearly shown in 2000 when Ralph Nader showed up at a debate in Boston of all places, a few blocks from the JFK (President John F. Kennedy library) and was denied entry.
What's happening now with a few thousand mostly white men running the country isn't that different than in 1776 (declaration of independence) or 1789 (constitution ratified).
What's different today is that the world has shrunk with improved communications and transportation, and the planet is in trouble ecologically.
The party's going to be over soon despite how many "oh, maw"'s from the little children, which is what sociopaths are emotionally.
The moms will all say, "Time to go home children."
