The Democracy of the founding fathers was Greek Democracy, predicated upon a slave society, and restricted to only the elite. This is the society we live in today, even with our reforms towards direct representation. The system is inherently biased towards the election of elites and against the representation of the masses. Hamilton called it “faction” when the working class got together and demanded better conditions, and mechanisms were built in (which still exist to this day) that serve to ensure the continued dominance of the elite over the masses. The suffering of the many is intentional. The opulence of the wealthy is also. This is the intended outcome.

Your source is that you know a person who heard it once from a journalist speaking their opinion? I'll let that speak for itself.

No I know a person who is a journalist in Israel and is Israeli. Don't reply if you don't care to read for meaning and just to argue for your own biases.

That's not a primary source and you are a useful idiot.

Don't reply if you're not going to provide a source other than your word. My bias is that I'm formally trained in identifying mis and disinformation within large scale combat operations. Sorry that you assume that bias is not taken into account in a professional setting. I'll just trust your "I know a guy" narrative.
