    where is the evidence that this “works”?

    Democracy works when you actually take part in it. The people have become so apathetic and think that voting is doing everything they need to do. It’s actually the least they need to do. Most of the decisions and the candidates have already been chosen by the time you vote on it. The real work happens between elections, not during them.

    Change the party. Change the ideas. Get active. Change the people. It’s the only way you’ll have someone worth voting for.

      I’m not saying democracy does not work, I’m saying the Democrats will not fix this problem

        If everyone took part in the society they wanted to create the world would be a different place. The people in power stay in power because people like you give up before you even try.

        If you don’t want to help then get out of the way for those who do.
