Democracy was doomed when the South lost the right to secede during the war of northern aggression.

During that period, the nascent Federal government consolidated its power, quashed states rights, created a central bank, and changed the U.S. back to the normal Spoils-based government that the rest of the world already had.

I will agree. The current political system is rigged to sustain the monopoly of our current two party system. In fact TRUE democracy in this country vanished long ago.
