Democracy

Ace Of Spades is, I think, disgusted:

Democracy is not being practiced here; it is merely being stage-managed. [The GOP] have worked their level best to insulate themselves from the rebuking power of popular opinion, and, with their corporate-media allies to protect them, they have managed to do so almost completely.

So this is why I have become a radical: I agree with a left-wing socialist/communist about the fundamental rotten lie at the heart of the American democracy.

I will not trouble myself to follow a farce.

Mirrors my feelings on the matter almost exactly.

P.S. Looking for a picture to accompany this post, I Googled "Democracy farce". I was surprised to see how many results came up on exactly that subject.
