Legitimacy of American elections is existence called into query from both side. This follows on the GOP drive to delegitimize President Obama alongside "birtherism, of which Donald Trump was a principal leader. And later on Trump's election, the Resistance barrage to delegitimize the novel president. (See Caitlin Johnstone's Politico Report Says Russiagaters Should Prepare To Kiss My Ass and The Screens.)
The legitimacy of American elections was significantly improved past times the Civil Rights Act together with and thus gradually undermined, starting fourth dimension past times Richard Nixon's Southern strategy. Legitimacy was farther eroded past times the GOP drive to impeach President Clinton, every bit viciously attacking Bill together with Hillary Clinton every bit before long every bit the election was over. Legitimacy was farther called into query past times the questionable victory of G. W. Bush over Al Gore inward the Supreme Court past times a partisan vote of 5-4.
This is the sign of a banana republic, non a mature democratic republic. With this development, American looses to a greater extent than soft ability internationally every bit a "shining urban substance on a hill," a "beacon" together with the "leader of the complimentary world."
Add to this the recent enquiry on the the U.S. of A. existence an oligopoly together with fifty-fifty Citibank called it a "plutonomy.
In a province where "money is speech" is legitimized together with corporations are accorded the constitutional rights of natural persons, unless in that place is equality of income together with wealth distribution, the effect is oligarchy, together with specifically plutonomy. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 corollary is that unusual policy becomes based on transnational corporate totalitarianism together with neo-imperialism.
It's over, folks. The dandy experiment failed. Aristotle is vindicated inward his analysis of the effect of so-called "democracy" non conducted past times lottery (chance selection). Otherwise, the alternative procedure becomes corrupted.
