  1. The “system’s broken” folks won’t change their POV until they are smashed electorally. It’s not clear anything like that will happen any time soon.

      Sorry, …not even then. They come from the efforts of academic progressives to inculcate progressive basic assumptions and definitions about society into *every* college Major graduation class requirements over the last 40-50 years. Note, 53 years ago was when MIT got its first president from a school of sociology.

      Until progressive domination of the educational system is over-turned by creating a new system, from kindergarten to graduate school, not drawing on the assumptions that have grown since 1965, or since 1920 in many cases, we will see continual regeneration of progressive policies, because that is what young impressionable minds are still greeted with today. With each new generation we will see another progressive threat to classical liberal representative government, as long as the institutions of education are in the control of progressives.

      1. You don’t need to ‘create a new system’, you just need to get rid of the existing indoctrination system and eliminate anti-family laws and regulations. Parents will do far more to ensure their kids learn to thrive in the world than governments ever could.

    2. It is hard to change the POV of people who live in an alternate reality. Consider we live in the best time ever for humans in terms of climate and achievement but they think we are in an apocalypse and the USA has never been less sexist/racist/whateverist and they think we live in a time of unparalleled racism, discrimination, and hate crimes.

  2. If anyone’s entitled “the system’s broken,” it’s those of us who value liberty and a free society.

    1. Its funny how lefties shut up when a person notes that many of the problems they complain about stem from giving government more power and money and the solution is to reduce the money and power government has.

      Don’t like corporations spending money on politics? Stop attacking them with punitive regulations and taxation and reduce the size of the budget so there is less to lobby over when trying to take a cut.

      But they like to attack symptoms not problems because they draw power from the problems and the symptoms can be dealt with with a little help of a corrupt government.

    2. The Tyranny of the Majority seems to be a meaningless abstraction whenever They are in power. At that point when they count the votes “50% + 1 voter” equals a Mandate to do whatever they want.
