Is America's Political System Rigged?

Question

Has America's political system inoculated itself against all attempts at reform/repair by the electorate (voters)?

• 5 votes
• Read all opinions

	Yes. Unquestionably!	4 votes, 80%
	Certainly not!	0 votes
	It's time to evoke Paragraph 4 of the Declaration of Independence!	1 vote, 20%

Answer 1

I think history has shown that there are measures in place to keep the control with the elite and out of the hands of the masses..

When this country was first founded, only land owners could vote. As more people got land, you had to be able to read and write. Only males, and only whites. As the masses overcame these hurdles, procedural hurdles were put in place.

...Which means, in essence, that there really is only ONE political party in America.

Answer 3

Yes, but even the worst of tyrannies are overthrown from time to time (maybe about once a century). One has to be careful, however, that what replaces them are not as bad or worse, as for example in Russia and China.
