Is our party's strength growing or shrinking ?

[woo me with science]

10. We don't have a democracy anymore.

We have no power within the party system of a democracy, because we don't even have a democracy anymore. That's what the recent Princeton study showed.

Gridlocked democracy is an illusion carefully sustained through propaganda to keep Americans from figuring out that we have experienced a corporate coup in this country. We don't have democracy anymore; citizens have virtually NO impact on policy anymore, because it is purchased and driven by economic elites. We have united oligarchy, both parties purchased and working toward the same predatory corporate agenda regardless of what the people want.

Corporate money floods Washington on both sides.

Our form of government itself has changed, all theater and propaganda to the contrary notwithstanding.
