The democracy is nominally functioning "by design" and by that I mean the law is still being followed.

I'm convinced there are spiritually two Americas here and I'm not sure the founding fathers could have forseen that. There are slow-motion economic wars happening. They are happening at a global level between China and the US and they are happening at a national level in the US between the red and blue states.

I don't think the founding fathers could have forseen the exponential growth in the haves and have nots.

Please don't create throwaway accounts purely to engage in political debate with general ideological/philosophical comments. HN is not primarily a political site, and the HN community benefits from consistent account usage (even if its pseudonymous).
