I am tired of this world, these people. I am tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives.

How Americans don't take this as a sign that their electoralism is always bound for failure will forever remain a mystery to me. You emerge from the fallout of Republican leaders by voting democrats and joyously claim, "the storm has passed" and "we should never repeat these mistakes". Come 8 or so years and a Republican is re-elected.
How have you guys not en masse realized that democratic reign is merely a refractory period for Republican governance? Why have you not organized and promoted other parties? The greens are slow and will take a lot of work to build, but Rome wasn't built in a day. This cycle will continue until you've en masse woken up to the real contradictions driving your politics.
Spiel over!
our constitution is intentionally structured to favor the wants and needs of capital holders instead of the working people
It's less that than people think dems are doing OK then go back to their shitty apathy that lets Republicans back in. Rinse, repeat.
I can't even comprehend it with the blinding majesty of the democratic actions taken, where they heroically and with the utmost of poise forgive their opponents for all crimes domestic and international.
The darn Republicans just don't understand how forgiving and merciful the Democrats will always be. So mean.
First we need to excise the foreign influence from the Greens though, which is probably harder than just starting over again. Which doesn't fix the problem with first past the post voting systems which mathematically make it almost impossible for one ideology to win if they have more candidates that an opposing ideology. That's where the fight has to start, grass roots voting reform to more represational systems like STAR. Get it in locally, and then push it up from there. Then new parties will be allowed to flourish, instead of just torpedoing their platform by splitting the votes.
