I would not say that it is irreformable, just inefficient at promoting true democracy…

Oh, yes. End-stage neo-feudal Free Market Absolutist capitalism is irreformable. It is a system built by and for psychopaths who HATE other people, and when the time is ripe, or when they feel threatened enough, they’ll do away with the ‘useless eaters’, without hesitation.

The Israel First presstitutes have gone ape-shit in hatred of Trump. Krugman accuses him of being Putin’s ‘Siberian candidate’, and the fragrant Noah Goldberg, one of the heroes of the Iraqi genocide, grew quite demented even by his loathsome standards. I almost hope Putin did do it, but who cares? The control of the Democrats by the Israel First push is there for all to see. Clinton is their property, and even a fellow Jew like Sanders is not good enough for these Fifth Columnists.

There is very little politics can do to remediate the state of democracy within the constraints of a neoliberal economic framework where the system itself is a zero sum game. To make one person better off, another person has to be made worse off replicating and even increasing income inequality. These underlying forces push individuals to make a choice between self preservation and the betterment of society. Thus our frustration can be easily displaced towards a discourse of hatrate and distrust of our fellow Americans, the same ones that help make this country great every day. How can any political party, even with good intentions fight against a system built on pure structural violence?

And one of my favourites – “Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.”

Agreed, but unfortunately whatever the war-mongering Yankees do affects us all.
