Democratic capitalism (capitalism + democracy) alongside a strong and efficient social welfare system is what I personally adhere to.

    Agreed. Any system is going to require a strong system of checks and balances. That’s one of the few good ideas the founding fathers had. They gloriously fucked up the implementation obviously. But the core concept is critical.

    Any system with checks and balances will fail when they are ignored. The current US situation is the continuation of at least a century of not holding the people who have tried to overthrow the governement accountable.

      That’s where they fucked up the implementation. It’s being ignored because 1 party controls all 3 branches of the federal government.

      They implemented a voting system that naturally devolves into a two parry system. Checks and balances don’t work when you are the one checking yourself.
