the core-fact that our Brokenness is now thoroughly Institutionalized.
Thus you ignore that de-facto Case that 'Murica' is the broken-version of an America which might once have been repaired--only it wasn't; many predicted it couldn't-be, via by any ordinary processes: all of which had/have been further (and now ~completely) compromised. Concepts were arbitrarily redefined by the actual Governors, those anti-democratic owners of an obscene percentage of the total-of National-everything. (They're bullet-proof: they make the bullets.)

Those of us who are Ashamed to be deemed Muricans-today, and who especially despise suggestions that we pretend one-more-time that "our next vote" can ever reform the corruption laden remnants in which we dwell: probably can unanimously support a Hearty Pshawww to those who deem that Privacy is a fair-bargaining-chip for "the Security of perpetual-warfare" via secret lies and even more-secret funding/control behind the coordinated tissue of those lies.

ie: Your non-response not only begs all the real questions; it dismisses the actuality of '14 Murica: essentially (tacitly) reiterating the mantra.. it's not Broken! just keep on believing that and "voting-in the few, the brave, the Miracle-workers. Who surely-will Fix-it-all, if we just have faith in … … … [What.. ? Unicorns?]
I know! "Just wait for the USSC to die-off and then.." in a few decades..

Oh and: the propositions that BHO was corrupt?/his rhetoric staged-lies or, that he has been incompetent? Have their corollaries:
isn't it amazing that, in the face of unprecedented racism and vicious ad hominem hypocrisy--he managed to win some significant improvements?
(But we still have draconic BHO-approved regs-from-Cheney, in too many places to count. Crap-shoot: again.)

8 years of the Shogunate (OK but just wait..]
~8 years of BHO [the Parade of Brokenness illustrated] in every wasted hour of premeditated Congressional Do-nothingness.]
Or, as Charlie Pierce puts it.

Or: What are the Odds?
People can plan World Cups to a fare-thee-well; use Them for ~similar: for the 21st Cen. Constitutional Convention..
and if that doesn't happen? as Dmitri loved saying: ..well … you. know.
