Re: USA no longer equipped to practice democracy It is not hypocritical to critique a system I'm only a member of one half in has broken down. I ran 6 years ago, I lost. It will take me another 5-7 years to raise the capital to try again.
Though I believe you may have not read deep enough into the critique I offered. The problem is two fold:
1. the candidates offered are not representing us
2. the electorate isn't electing representatives
The solution is the electorate changes. The methods to get there quickly and painlessly are unkown to me. I believe time and pain will be a requirement from ourselves. There has to be a beginning at some point, if nothing more than convincing yourself, family, and friends to take 20 minutes a year, choose one open office, and deeply research each candidate to choose the best representative you conclude, for you, by you... and forget the "they have a snowballs chance in hell to win, I'm throwing away my vote for a loser". Don't buy into it, vote for YOUR representative based on YOUR own research. It has to start somewhere.
