I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.

My GOD I hope you're right. I feel like I'm screaming at the wind because no one is calling for mandatory voting like Australia has used successfully for a century. Without it you can't know what the country really wants. 50% refuse to vote on a normal year. That is atrocious for a democracy.
