How sad; the 'problems of Governing' are no longer just the 'People' at the 'Bottom', 'they' are at the Top.

How sad; the problems of Governing are no longer just the People at the Bottom, they are concentrated at the Top. Of course, the Bottom has its troubles, with all the Racial discrimination and the efforts to Control the vote, etc. That will always be the case. But, when the Top, the Ideology begins to unravel, one has to find the cause for that. Several publications have stated that Trump and Putin are 'very friendly' and that Putin said it was to Russia's advantage to have Trump in Office because of his 'incompetence'. Thats dangerous and the cause is probably the 'lack of qualifications' for Running for Office. Anyone can Run. Also, the fact that we have 'Two Political Parties' that differ in their 'politics' simply on the basis of being a member of the opposing Party. Why cant we have One Party based on the the 'Constitution' and just 'differ' on how to accomplish the same democratic Political Goal? The division into a Two Party system doesnt seem to be working. Of course there will always be discussions on various ways of achieving the same Democratic goal. Nothing wrong with that. Are both Parties democratic? If political candidates want to monopolize the political landscape with a Party Ideology, why not just say it. Both Parties claim to be democratic, yet the two parties are 'replete with disagreements' and the competition between them is 'fierce'. It appears that the difference is about Money and that Money and the big Corporations determine the Policy and that 'Governing' should become 'Rule' and should be based on that and not on a 'Democratic Ideology'. Why should there be a 'Political' Connection between an Autocracy and a Democracy? Could that be some kind of attempt to merge or overcome 'One' or the 'Other' Ideology? Should'nt 'Each' be Independent from the Other? Could that lead to an antagonistic relation between Ideologies that could lead to War? What is wrong with our Politics?

Economic 'values' are essential, but 'not definitive' of a 'Social System' of 'Freedom and Equality'.

Certainly 'Economic values' are essential, but 'not definitive' of a Social System of 'Freedom and Equality'. Economic values are descriptive of a 'Social' but it does not create a Bottom or an Economy that is determinative of Democratic values. The Bottom of a Democracy does require 'Economic Values' but it does not shift the Democratic Value System of 'Freedom and Equality' to an 'Economy descriptive' of an 'Autocratic System'. Certainly an 'Autocratic System' can monopolize its Economy and subsistute, a value system that emphasizes the Economic as its strong-point at the Bottom, but it does not emphasize 'Freedom and Equality' of the 'Individual' as the strong Point of a Democratic 'Bottom'. All Bottoms need economies, but that aspect of all Socials is not the only defining parts of a Democratic Social. If the economy was the sole factor we would be 'inching' closer to a 'Plutocracy', not a Democracy. Hence, great care must be exercised when defining a Successful Economy. 'Corporate Persons' create a 'Lopsided Economy' and a 'Lopsided Social'. The Constitution applies to every 'Real Individual' and should not include 'Legal Fictional Persons' or 'legal Fictions. They 'may be' necesary 'Legal Constructions', but they are 'Fictional' and hence have no 'direct connection' to 'Constitutional Rights' which 'adhere' to 'Real Individuals' at the 'Bottom' of a Political Entity.
