What would you prefer? Direct rule by the United States Military? Corporate rule? A monarchy?

I know it's cool to hate the government and all, but honestly what is a better alternative? I definitely think our government is flawed but that's because the general population is flawed.

I think after today's Supreme Court ruling, it is safe to say the entire election process is flawed due to the amount of money spent on campaigns and candidates.

We're a democratic republic, as opposed to a direct democracy. But we're still a democracy.
