What do you think about our "democratic" systems?

Question

i think its a load of c**p. we cant do half the things we should be able to do.

Answer 1

Our "democratic system" has been dead since we Americans were complacent enough to let it die.

Answer 2

Well the Democratic system tends to be a lot more convoluted than the Republican system, as far as the nominations go.

Or were you referring to our type of government in the US which is a constitutional republic.

If so, I think the system, much like most microsoft machines needs to be rebooted. The current gridlock is disgusting The congress is contemptible for both their actions and their inactions. They write rubber checks left and right and refuse to do anything about the current energy crisis which is one of the reasons they are writing these rubber checks. US citizens are paying stupid tax right now for our complacency.

Answer 5

Well, at 59 years old, and being a Democrat my entire adult life.

I think that the "democratic" system is a big pile of buffalo chips.

We have not had a democratic system my entire life.

Answer 6

Democracy the power of the people is as uthopic as comunism, Democracy as a model of social and political administration in theory and first social experiments came from the ancient greeks, but it always has degenerate in aristocracy or even worst in nepotism, so it failed.

In the XX century social experiments of comunism failed, because the theory of an State abolished by the proletarian degenerate unavoidable in plutocracy or aristocratic elites ruling. The direct proletarian popular power the comunist idea is directly related to people's representative model of democracy.

The same things happens with democracy, nowadays things haven't changed a lot with this concept aplidin the social contexts, all the power is concentrated inevitably in a elite bureoucratic group, so a trully people's representative democracy where the people is the direct protagonist, keeps in theory.

What USA's always shows to the world isn't a real democracy, it has been being a simple bureucratic plutocracy for centuries, if you want to live in the american dream that you live in a trully democracy, just keep dreaming...

Sorry if I dissapoint anyone.
