This one is ending badly too. Uncontrolled pandemic with over a million dead, openly supporting a genocide in Palestine, endless war, near zero democratic input from people less rich than wealthy suburbanites, climate crisis, the ending of U.S. hegemony causing a hyperfixation on military control of the world. It goes on and on, and can all be traced back to a fundamentally undemocratic governance structure and economic structure. It didn't help that prior attempts, while making their own mistakes, were facing an implacable powerful enemy that constantly set out to destroy them. Security threats generate centralization and reduced democracy in all societies.
