The two party duopoly
#7
RE: The two party duopoly
I don't think the Democrats are near as bad as the Republicans, but I do think the two party system absolutely has to go. We keep propping up bad politicians to prevent even worse politicians from taking power. Combine the billionaire influence and all of the money corrupting the process and the whole thing becomes a farce.

The true problem is than any real change falls into the category of idealism given the concentration of power lies with the people who like the system just as it is. Because of all these issues and the insignificance of my one vote, I've become extremely apathetic to voting, but somehow, every year, the GOP manages to pull someone out of their ass that frightens me enough to vote for a Democrat.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
