Nice blog post. I like the addition of the personal story at the beginning to set up the ideas of the post and tying back into it at the end. Well done.

Your story and your concept of democracy are very complete. Of course, the United States is currently in a very complete electoral game. On one hand, Trump appears, promising everything. Democrats do not know who to nominate and the electorate does not know who to choose.

Democracy in most western nations is now captured by corporate sponsors (capital) who fund and own the parties who compete for the vote. Whatever the outcome these corporate lobbyists get what they want.
All the voters get is a slant on social policies- a bit more or less welfare, a bit more liberal or conservative across the board.
But capital now dominates your government and who you vote for will have very limited influence in that.

The perspective in which the topic is approached is very good... starting with the rather peculiar title... we find ourselves in moments of great attention in which we must deduce well before giving support! although personally I think that none of the options are very good... the most true of all is that we must continue stacking our sats💪💪

Deeply evil dictator. Send people to die in Gulag. Holodomor. Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. On social issues also reactionary and evil. (edit: antisemite aswell btw) Lysenko. His only positive legacy is beating the Nazis eastern front.
