First of all, the US is not a democracy. It's a republic. If we were actually a democracy, Donald Trump and GW Bush would never have been elected president in the first place. Secondly... I won't hold my breath waiting for your constructive ideas on how to fix this broken system. Meanwhile, the even more aggrieved Right is throwing in the democracy towel and begging for a dictatorship. Does that sound like a "fair and equitable alternative" to you? Complain all ya want. The US is still a country that allows you and me to blast our opinions without getting thrown in jail. For that, if nothing else, we should be grateful.
