(27,137 posts)...which so clearly demonstrates that we do not have a democratic government.
When even our elected officials are told they cannot know what is in legislation they must vote for or against.
We live in a Corporate-Oligarchy with minor democratic-like features designed to assuage and manipulate the unthinking into believing that their thoughts and concerns matter to those who own this enterprise.
Those who look to this Potemkin-government for answers and/or protection shall be sorely disappointed later.
But be encouraged, because political systems don't last forever.
None ever has.
They are all stepping-stones.
Evolutions towards something better than what came before.
When we continue to use, to support a flawed system in the belief that it can somehow be miraculously changed with more band-aids and fixes and more laws, we are simply being foolish.
It is like a child who closes it's eyes to a reality it doesn't want to see and tries to wish it away.
When the flaws are all inherent in the makeup of the system.
