America was founded on revolution- and thus I find it remaining stagnant would be the worst death possible for it.
America was made an independent country BY revolution. We were founded on the principles laid out in the Declaration of Independence, the
Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Many of us, who are neither Republican or Democrat, just want to see those principles be the ones in effect once again.
There is no Utopian Socialism. It is not up to the government to tell me what I can and cannot have.
No form of Communism has ever been oppression free, therefor it was never true communism.
So while in theory those forms of government/societal structure sound great, they have never turned out the way they were promoted.
Our democratic republic isn't perfect, no government is, but it is still the best thing that has come around yet - at least the way it was first
designed.
