The USA has NEVER been a democracy because democracy and capitalism cannot co-exist. If the people had the ability to vote away capitalism, they would never allow it to come back.
Our constitution was written by white, wealthy, sexist, slave-and-landowning males SPECIFICALLY with the intent to keep white, wealthy, sexist, slave-and-landowning males in power and 250 years later nothing much has changed.
We will never have democracy as long as we have rich people. It is really quite that simple.
