'Real Democracy' is difficult. Why? Because some Real Individuals are too busy getting a 'Piece of the Pie'.

Real Democracy is difficult because it depends on the Real Individuals at the Bottom of the 'Three Branch arrangement' of Governing. Democratic Government is Triadic in Nature; the Top is the Executive; the bottom are the 'Many People' and the 'sides' of the Triangle are the 'adjudicators' of 'Constitutionality'. They are appointed to the Judicial Branch. The Division of Government into Three Branches seems to be a proper approach for acquiring a Democratic Result. So, what happened? Well, the People or the Individuals in the 'Condition of Togetherness' divided themselves up into 'Groups', or 'Political Parties', and began to view Politics in a so-called 'Conservative view' and a so-called 'liberal view'. Why is it that, if you have a 'roomful of Individuals', one of the first things they do is divide themselves into Groups or Political Parties. Well, we can always hope that if the 'Condition of Togetherness is 'democratic' in nature, that the divisions will still retain their 'democratic nature'. But, is that the case; are both 'Democrats' and 'Republicans' democratic? If so; then the 'means whereby' a Political Goal is 'achieved' might be 'different', but the 'End Result' would still be 'democratic'. Unfortunately, the Ship of State is not being driven by a 'Political engine'; its being driven by an 'Economic Engine', or by 'profits and Money', or by The 'Forbes List'; or by 'Corporate America'; or simply by the '1%'. Corporations, or Legal Fictions, are not real Human Beings, they're 'economic tools' or 'economic Fictions', but they are protected by 'Constitutional Law'. The Courts decision in 'Citizens United' even allows them to 'participate in politics'. A Three Branch Democracy cannot be driven with an Economic Engine. It must be driven with a Political Engine; a Democratic Engine wherein the 'Freedom and Equality' of each real individual is 'structured' and 'protected'. Today's Democracy is being driven by CEO's who, apparently, know nothing about Democracy. Our Democracy is De-Constructing at the Top. Usually, a 'Government' Deconstructs at the Bottom. But, today the very 'adhesive' that keeps a 'Democracy viable', Three Branch Government, is deconstructing at the Top. Where are the Real Politicians?
