Democratic Reforms Held Hostage To Absurd Amendment Process

34. and yet if it's not reformed...

And yet if it's not reformed, as the Bush and Trump Juntas prove... it will destroy the very credibility of the system itself. Of course it will survive. We can have voting rates of 10% and the system will continue to function.

Here's my take... runaway corporate power and grotesque wealth inequality... are the RESULT of an antidemocratic, federal system. It doesn't take much in our system for money to take over because there are so many bottlenecks where reform can be blocked... such as the Senate and the amendment process. We should expect this from a system that was built on class warfare... with the rich getting the Senate. (Madison's minority of the opulent) and elites being given a veto over the People at every turn.

To perpetuate an antidemocratic system has two major risks... one, a runaway right wing agenda made possible because the EC installed Trump... and 2, a system that continues to get more antidemocratic because of population differentials between the smallest and largest states.

Libs fear change, yet without it... that light at the end of the tunnel is a train.
