Your problem is that both of your major parties no longer represent people in any meaningful way.
Not equally. That’s a corporatist talking point and is not based on reality. The mainstream media promotes false equivalency in the name of “balance” (which is a crock of shit as I’ve explained in a previous post). The purpose is to get the American public to bounce back and forth between two parties who can keep blaming each other for their inaction and keep the vicious cycle (that benefits the rich only) going.
If Americans would ignore this equivalency falsehood and keep voting in lesser evil we wouldn’t be in this horrible position we’re in today. If you need more info, it’s here with facts and sources:
Until you take money out of your political system in a meaningful way, you will be screwed.
That’s never going to happen until we consistently vote in lesser evil for decades. Too much lasting damage has been done after two GW Bush terms with a mostly rubber stamp Congress.
And, please note that promoting false equivelence keeps us further away from that goal.
You guys are basically fucked
If we keep falling for the false equivalence myth and vote in greater evil instead of consistently voting in lesser evil, then you’re right.
us poor Canadians who end up sinking with you.
If you embrace false equivalence instead of critical thinking, then you’ll deserve it.
