what is the alternative?...seriously..

A constitutional Republic. BUT, if the sovereigns allow an oligarchy to push the law aside and ignore the Constitutional directions, then it is no longer a Constitutional Republic, kind of where America is now, under the criminal enterprise in power.

Monarchy is much better system for those who cannot govern themselves. Most of Latin America’s problems could be fixed by having local lords who govern thier poor people effectively.

Honestly just about anything would be more sane that what we have going on now.

Just look at how bad it is, we have an open criminal winning half the votes--someone who literally stole her candidacy and used her high status position to line her bank account.

A lottery system would be preferable to this.

Another thought, I have seen man on the strret interviews in Venezuala where they interview people in line for toilet paper.

They ARE STILL frothing and chomping at the bit to go after "the rich".

So, the theory that it'll get so bad, they'll come to their senses does not prevail. Ever.
