I disagree with him on his definition of American Exceptionalism too. "Exceptonalism" implies that something is exceptional, better than most things, or average things. I have no doubt that America views itself as being superior to the rest of the world, and it is this idea that drove Manifest Destiny, that we were meant to rule the world. We love flaunting our hegemonic wings in front of the rest of the world. But I have a bit of disheartening news: the world sux, and we are not an exception to that rule, lol.
The corporations control this country now, almost all of Congress and pretty much every president has been bought. There is no reforming this system, since both Washington and corporate scumbags they subsidize have a symbiotic relationship. Us little people don't matter anymore. Only solution, is revolution. Its been 235 years or so since the last one. We are overdue.
