It doesnt really matter weather we vote or not, if its fascism communism or democracy, theyre all the same in the fact that one man is at the top of the pyramid in control of millions of people. Just in democracy they get to swindle you into liking them for a short bit. Or just hating someone more than them.

The fact that we can vote a party out of power is huge. It means the ruling party is held account to some degree. It's not to the degree that I want, I wish rich people who broke the law also went to prison, but at least we do have the power to change the course of the country by removing people from power.

Also, in a country like America, we have multiple branches of government. The president can't do whatever they want, bills have to go through congress, and they can be overturned by the Supreme Court.
Right now the Republicans are doing everything they can to end democracy and they're failing. Despite totally controlling two branches of the government, they're still losing to local judges. That's awesome.

Well there is a lot to respond to but to keep it short the main reason people are still following what the government says is because without it things would definetly be worse there would be no police no firefighters no one would be doing there job. To a certain degree governments are like dictators but dictators stay in power and can not be impeached if we really hated the government we could impeach.

This is the least educated thing I have ever (EVER) heard. The crazy idea of anarchy is as old as mankind on this planet. Why don't you declare yourself a sovereign citizen, stake out a plot of land for yourself and go off-grid to try to sustain yourself without any services, protections, or social conveniences?

You can file monthly progress reports, and I predict like the peeps here who claim they are leaving because they are unhappy with the terms of use, the reactions they get or don't get, or like you, just general apathy, they quickly come running back. That is if you have the guts to even try what you are suggesting for the rest of us.

Maybe it's just time for you to grow up.

One reason for TERM LIMITS! The President is term limited, and some state politicians as well,so why not ALL of them?

In a real democracy, the president or prime minister is just the face of Congress. If there's someone at the top of the pyramid in control of everything, that's not a democracy.
