Whether we like to admit it or not, these two parties reign-in and try to control the type conversation and debate that the American people have. This squashes real objective debate and defeats the purpose of elections. The whole point to elections is to vet the candidates through rigorous questioning and debate so that the American people end up with the best person for the job.

Since we know that the media acts only as a surrogate to these two main parties it is left up to individuals to ask the hard impromptu questions that the media shies away from. The media after all, is owned by corporate America, and corporate America is wholly aligned with the two-party monopoly.

There’s a dead zone in our political system that is being ignored , not because the two parties are unaware of it but because it challenges their control of our government. These two parties are all to happy to act like they are bitter enemies, all the while they conspire together to allow the other to maintain the seats of power in agreement that when the seats change it’s their turn.

Two opinions cannot in anyway represent the whole of America and its diverse population, yet we are all sold the idea that “Americas’ political system fits it like a glove.” Wrong! Two parties equally corrupt for slightly different reasons does NOT fit my idea of a “perfect fit.”

“Still, we make up for it in personality…”

Not to mention the incredibly insightful guest bloggers.
