#1 The Left believes in the fantasy that socialism is economically viable.

The Right believes in the fantasy that it's still a constitutional republic.

Both lie to themselves that only if the right man/people got in power it would all be fixed. Too much power and money has been concentrated in one place. It'll never be given up short of the collapse of the system. The choice is facing the misery that will take or just killing time till it happens later without any avoidance of the misery.

Whether 'tis Nobler in the mind to suffer
The Slings and Arrows of outrageous Fortune,
Or to take Arms against a Sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them: to die, to sleep
No more; and by a sleep, to say we end
The Heart-ache, and the thousand Natural shocks That Flesh is heir to? 'Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished.

#2 Well, Boss Tweed went down without a revolution.

On the other hand, perhaps today's politicians learned a thing or two from ol' Boss Tweed...
