[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are many aspects to the China vs US debate. I think the easiest to understand is that it is a test on democracy vs whatever you want to call China. When I was growing up, it was all "end of history", democracy is the ultimate (least bad) system. I think that is coming under a lot of scrutiny now with the Internet and social medium and the dumbing down of voters. I do not see democracy winning under these circumstances and it will only get worse. The monarch, philosopher king model is looking a lot more attractive. [/quote]

When one side(republicans) do not believe in democracy they will take over everything by throwing wrenches in to the works. Look at the Spanish civil war.[/quote]

This isn't really a one sided issue. According to classic game theory, 2 party rule already tends towards the extremes. Add in social media, AI post truth society, and dumb people, and you have it even worse. I don't know how America self corrects but something drastic needs to be done. [/quote]

We self correct by kicking the GOP and Dem Parties to the curb where they belong and replacing them with much less corrupt and much more functional political parties representing the conservative and liberal factions of the electorate. You'd think this concept would be obvious to the average person but it isn't. Many idiots think the GOP and Dem Parties are public entities that can't be replaced. So sad! [/quote]
