(5,275 posts)A true democracy would have more than two choices, especially when the non social issues parts of the two current parties are not always much different. The main thing is that big money and Wall Street run things, they have more money and that talks.
As Brian Schweitzer said not too long ago, how can you expect someone to vote against a company/corporation on Friday when they took big cash from them on Tuesday? That of course is bribery, which in real life lands people in jail but it's business as usual now in politics.
I'd really like to see the Green Party get some traction, and that may be possible if we can get big money out of the system, if we can get that amendment passed in enough states to do away with The Kochs/Wall Street/Supremes Special, Citizens United.
