Jail suits you Ms. Clinton. However, I must ask you, what spell did you perform on the citizens of the free world to suck up to Bernie Sanders? What kind of American would vote for a Socialist/communist? This country was BORN a democracy. It will remain a democracy. But you know what? Fine, tell me about the free college and free health care. I would LOVE that. In fact, I NEED that. I'm willing to vote in that direction but first I need to know how the college and health care will be paid. Will the government print more money? Will they borrow from China? I can't wait to cast my vote for all this free stuff as soon as I'm informed where the money is coming from to provide tuition and health insurance.
Spicy, there is nothing incompatible between a democracy (or a Republic) and socialism. One is a form of government, the other an economic theory. They coexist around the world.
How long must we wait before DeTocqueville is proven correct, AJ? The income tax is more than a century old, and the populace discovered it can vote themselves the "largess of the treasury" in earnest back in FDR's day and yet we still last. Did DeTocqueville (or the many others) put a timeline on our collapse?
As for increasingly embracing democracy as the years pass, that's probably true but largely irrelevant. Democracy and votes have less meaning now than ever (which is probably why people are jumping on the socialist and Trump populist trains). With one really bad Supreme Court decision, we are most firmly (and now permanently) ruled by a oligarchy that numbers only in the hundreds. The votes of millions are restricted to the choices we are given by the handful who pour in the money and pull the strings. And the choices have become between milquetoast and milky milquetoast. Certainly we're given nobody who is willing to stand up in favor of the millions over the hundreds.
