How about an educated electorate that votes and votes good representatives into office who will diligently represent the interests of their informed electorate? Read through that sentence again, let it soak in, you will begin to see everything that is wrong with the American political system.
- ryanwaggoner 14y agoI think it's very tough to make the case that America is uniquely bad in this regard. Do you seriously think that Europe is a political utopia that elects people who only do the best for citizens, or that entrenched interests haven't captured public power and funds??
- jcroll 14y agoWell obviously America isn't uniquely bad in this regard if compared to the rest of the world and what we are talking about occurs on a spectrum so everything is relative but compared to other Western European nations I think America is absolutely quite bad in comparison.
