The American dream is not at risk, nor is it fading out. In fact is has been entirely dead for sometime. Society is solidly rigged by long time rich and established players.

It would take a revolution to revive it.

The amazing part is that the constitution does cover how to go about this, with little actual combat.

The only thing that is needed is for a good majority of voter to tell the duopoly of Democrats and Republicans that their services are no longer wanted then clean house by voting in a new set of players from a new set of political parties.

It is totally legal, and it is even not that hard, IF you could pierce the indoctrinated dogma that Rs or Ds are the only choices or you are throwing your vote away.

Just getting the citizens who do not vote (141 million??) to become active would bring it closer.

You dont need a BILLION dollars to run for election. It is needed when you have to make someone utterly corrupt and removed from reality palatable to voters.

But even after a revolution brought about by an election the fight would be tremendous against the entrenched / swamp / deep-state / oligarchs / 1% / enterprises / lobby organisations etc etc .

But it is there for us to do.
