A point and 2 questions:

 

95% of Americans saying FUCK YOU to the system would indeed bring it down, and I’d be surprised if it even took your given 24 hours. . . an interesting hypothetical point, but only hypothetical.

 

The POTENTIAL power of the masses is just that – potential.   Potential power isn’t real power, and can’t (won’t) coalesce into MIGHT until it is harnessed – and who is it that harnesses the power of the masses?  It sure isn’t the people; it is always an elite! 

 

Where do these numbers come from, and how are you defining disenfranchised?

 

And yes, you read that correctly. 95% of the total American population is disenfranchised at the moment --- there are 275 million of us --- and only about 5 million of THEM.

 

(. . .and just so nobody thinks that I’m hiding, my name is Doug and I’m from Virginia)
