(2,054 posts)The most glaring example is the undemocratic election procedure for President. It's not based upon the popular vote and even when a candidate clearly has a majority of both popular votes and electoral votes the candidate is declared by a federal court to be the loser!
We have a two party system in which both major parties are really controlled by rich people and big business. You do know who is funding the Democratic and Republican party convention shows. This has been fully documented by credible progressives.
When a family is paid over 150 million dollars for giving some speeches what do you think they have done to deserve such payoffs from corporations and Wall Street? Nothing at all? That's pretty naïve.
I wonder if you think the federal government is undemocratic when the Republicans control Congress and the White House and very, very democratic when the Democratic Party controls Congress and the White House.
I hope you don't honestly believe that.
I think you will agree that some people have the simplistic notion that this nation can change from a democracy to a undemocratic regime and back again but merely casting a vote for President and Congress ala Clinton, Bush, Obama.
