Forget all that schoolbook nonsense for a sec. I been watching this thing work in real time since Gulf War I. It’s stupid to call it democracy. The oligarchs pick a couple people, cut from the same neoliberal cloth. One’s an asshole, one’s a secret asshole. Red votes asshole, blue votes secret asshole. Then, in every single administration, like three guys sit in the White House and circle jerk history into rubble. Every time. There’s no ‘us.’ We didn’t shit all over international law. They did.
