How about George W. Bush's re-election? Americans had a choice and they did not take it. The systems in place did not work.

the rot is systemic
term limits do nothing
each generation of leaders are products of the same system that is rotting
both parties are of the same chromo-lattice, financed the same way, disguised as (tax, (ii) debt, both of which must be paid

putting your hopes on population growth? of what kind of people? why not just move south of the border and save yourself the hassle?

all the companies you mentioned, they are international, and are being bought wholesale.

You are,alas, living in a dream world. The media have the task of getting a majority of US voters on the reactionary side, and they do it well. Labor union members are annually decreasing so the education of the members about where their interests lie is correspondingly decreasing. Also, Maurice to the contrary notwithstanding, low IQ people have higher birth rates so the genetic contribution to IQ is getting worse steadily. There are no more Lincolns, Jeffersons, Adamses, any more.
