        By demonstrating the facts which make the system meet the definition. Look it up there’s plenty of articles citing studies. Someone else linked a major one here.

            “Look it up” is not an argument, it’s a suggested course of action. I explained my point and then suggested you look it up in order to see it more elaborated and supported.

            I wasn’t aware there was an argument taking place; certainly not one involving me.

      There is no measurable way that our government has reflected the will of the majority in over 50 years.
