Democracy is failing because we have two sides that have fundamentally different ideas for what our nation should be. Do we want high individual economic mobility (up and down) or do we want want to bring everyone up/down to a common level?
- stormbrew 5y agoI don't think either of those positions are represented in any way by the two political party choices Americans have. In the case of the former, it seems pretty blatantly to be empty rhetoric - the Republican Party as it exists now is built by and for established wealth to maintain established wealth. In the case of the latter, the Democrats do not even pretend to advocate for anything like that. The only people who think they represent that are the people who don't vote for them.
