Has it ever occurred to you that perhaps both the Repubs and the Dems
represent the people perfectly?

If you mean "the ten thousand or so richest families" by "the people", why
yes.

Nope, I mean you and me!

Without publicly funded elections and instant runoff voting, democracy
is
dead at the federal and state levels in the US.

Democracy, like capitalism, is not perfect but it is still better than
all
other systems.

Not for those who lust after power over others.

You mean like you?
