Am I the only one that believe the US has to go through some sort of painful transition/civil war/revolution to fix it? Is reforms from Democrats enough? (lemmy.ml)

There won't be real reforms from Democrats because they're complicit and invested in the system staying exactly as it is. Just "nicer."
