The thing is that all these problems are systematic and can be found in every other "first-world" capitalist nation. They existed in the US at the time of WWI, at the Vietnam War, and through today. As long as people put hope in the system that creates these flaws, that necessitates a ruling elite who are socially and, more importantly, economically above the rest of a country, none of these problems are going to disappear. It does not fucking matter whether the Republicans, the Democrats, or an independent party are at the helm -- all politicians are crooks, and the if we all don't embrace "anti-"politics and reject the system and its overlords, all this partisan political masturbation is simply spitting in the wind.
