Pelosi's often expressed hatred for ex-president Trump does not tell me that her Democratic Party is the true guardian of " OUR democracy ". You see there is this TWO PARTY SYSTEM which -above all -serves the interests of the American plutocracy . But things are not really that simple . Because : Like human beings in all times and places members of the RULING CLASS have serious disagreements on policy. And not rarely they hate one another.
The political division of the USA into DEMOCRAT and REPUBLICAN is really an internal conflict of the country's ruling capitalist class. They want the American working class to think that the stakes are high for them in the coming November election.
But Ralph Nader more recently - not just Lenin and Trotsky - pointed out that the TWO PARTY SYSTEM is a trap for working class people. WE need an independent third party like the British Labor Party but more class conscious militant . " OUR democracy " brutally discourages any rival third party on the Left or on the Right. Yet where does the American Constitution establish the authority of the two main parties ? Find " Democrat " and " Republican " in the text of the American Constitution .
Some day in the USA DEMOCRAT and REPUBLICAN will be just a fading historical memory -like the Whigs !
