"America is a caricature of Democracy"

Quote:

Americans now think more highly of cockroaches than of their Congress – as few as 20 per cent trust Washington to do what is right. But, instead of fighting for their own best interests, voters view the collapse and chaos as spectators, hostages to a process in which they have become powerless. Polarisation is more toxic than ever and the two Americas literally can't stand each other – half of Republicans and a third of Democrats say they'd be unhappy if a son or daughter married someone from the other party.

Reading this article I found it pretty persuasive. The list of broken bits is long. Add them all up and it adds up to a long decline to total dysfunction.
