              Social scientists- as opposed to academic charlatans- have studied the CLASS nature of " OUR democracy " for more than a hundred years. Read Theodore Dreiser's ( author of " An American Tragedy " ) political autobiography " My Newspaper Days " ... " About Myself ". 

            Way back in 1920 the American socialist Eugene V. Debs lectured the country about the fraudulent nature ( with or without " fair " elections ) of the Two Party System . BOTH parties, Debs contended , served the ruling  capitalist class, the American plutocracy , really LESS than the ONE PERCENT.

         Since the majority of voters are still WORKING CLASS by any criterion  you would think that true democracy would produce a victory for WE THE PEOPLE in every election. 

             In 2020 the American voters are NOT divided into working class white supremacists for Trump and " progressive " idealists voting for Joe Biden.

            Clearly the corrupt TWO PARTY system is in meltdown.  The very idea of SOCIALISM is anathema to both the hard core leadership of the Democratic Party and the OPENLY pro- capitalist business interests Republican Party.

                 If the plutocracy has turned against President Donald Trump ,it is only because he too well represents this class.  Police brutality and a BIG LIE mainstream news media are inevitable under decaying capitalism. 

                     The only way out of the now permanent crisis of the TWO PARTY system - a PEACEFUL way out - is the quick formation of a mass Labor Party in the USA - similar to the British Labor Party but more class conscious and militant .
