When government and corporations essentially merge, each covering up for the other's faux pas, each doing the dirty work necessary to support the other entity, it's called "fascism". The US is clearly a fascist state, but it likes to pretend it isn't, sadly to its own citizens' detriment.

This paragraph pretty much sums up US election problems: "This is where the most election interference will come from in this presidential race: not from Russia, not from China, but from the rich and powerful drivers of the US-centralized empire. The operation of a globe-spanning power structure is simply too important to be left in the hands of the electorate."

In other words, we the lowly American voters are not to be trusted. The government-corporation-complex can't be bothered risking its survival with the paltry interference of We the People. That's why it's time to take out the government-corporate establishment and re-establish a genuine democracy of the people. Anyone with me on this or is this just a fantasy of mine?
