I actually
have given up on democracy. Or, perhaps more precisely, the ruling class has perverted the democratic process to a point in which it isn't particularly
democratic any more. It is in that sense that I think America is at a point-of-no-return.
I have long held and said that "Republican vs. Democrat", "Right vs. Left", and the "Conservative vs Liberal" dichotomies aren't the most accurate representations of the "sides" in American politics. I believe that the most accurate and useful dichotomy is "The Ruling Class vs. Ordinary Folks."
