The reality is that the institutions have failed. What has stopped this regime? The congress, the courts, the law enforcement agencies, are corrupted beyond functioning. We are sleepwalking into our demise. We must regain power. We can fix nothing until we do and if they keep power we are lost.

Yes, I read the piece. Your naivete is a danger to the continuation of our democracy. You have not grasped the reality that there are not two political parties anymore. There is the Democratic party and the Trump regime which is intent on crushing the democratic system to take power.
