Problem is...the current Republicans and Democrats in office are the ones who make the campaign laws. And they make it so hard for any "third party" candidate to even get on the ballot that it's almost impossible.
The only sure way to get elected is to be a Democrat or Republican and have the party machine fund you and finance you all the way in.
And then? Well then you OBEY the party leaders in the House and Senate and you cast yote according to what Sen. Reid tells a Dem in the Senate or Sen. McConnell tells a Repub in the Senate.
That's what I was saying to crockett...He (and a majority of Americans) have been led to think that our representatives are geniuses and have all kinds of "experience".
The only thing they have "experience" at is fucking the country up. And it doesn't take a genius to go and vote the way the Senate or House leader told you to on every issue.
But yeah...they make sure the campaign laws are set up to keep the 2-party system in power.
And if you try to vote in a new Republican or Democrat candidate...you just get a new guy who will do EXACTLY what the old guy did when it comes to voting in Congress...obey the party leaders.
The only thing that can change this is for the people of the United States to stop voting for the 2 parties and start voting for candidates that actually espouse your beliefs.
If you are crazy religious and pro-life and want a govt run by the Baptist church...then WHY are you voting for a Republican? They will NEVER do that.
If you are a guy like me....pro-choice, anti-war, anti-drug war, pro-freedom...then WHY would you vote for a Democrat? They will NEVER actually do the things they pretend to believe in.
It's time we started finding candidates who are not beholden to the current 2 party power structure that has fucked our country up.
Just look at us. In debt up to our eyeballs, being searched at airports, cops searching us at traffic stops and frisking people on the streets, most of the world hating our guts, the economy barely hanging on...Where we are at is directly the cause of the Republican and Democrat 2 Party System.
Hell, some of those guys have been in office since the 1970's! THEY are the ones who did this to us, and we just keep re-electing them over and over while they laugh all the way to the bank.
