If Americans are, as you say, are incapable of voting in their own collective self interest then the they are no longer capable of making political compromise. Meaning the US and its institutions are already dead, they just don't know it yet.

Also general numbers dont show everything. Like Canada keeps creating jobs and unemployment keeps going down. But not for Albertans.

Alberta is a different beast, we've had decades of government mismanagement tying us to oil without serious attempts to diversify or save those resource profits. Yet we keep picking them knowing their long term strategy and outcome. Though mind you we really need more than two viable political choices to choose from. #electoralreform
