Democracy Is a Threat to Any Power System

6. But, we are a Republic. That's how our Constitution reads.

And until we understand the fact that we are represented by the people who get voted into office--and they hold the power--we will never understand how the system has been gamed.

Once in office, the umbilical cord between elected officials and their constituents is severed. These elected officials are indoctrinated into accepting a perspective that has nothing to do with the masses and has everything to do with improving the lives of those who send them big money donations.

So, only in a twisted way is Democracy a threat to any power system. It is a threat in the same way that revolution is a threat to any power system.

We are just useful when it's necessary to throw the incumbents out because they have become too corrupt. This is what makes the Thirdwayers so dangerous to the process, because nothing we do will make a major difference.
