The Two-Party System has Failed Us


There are two major problems in this country right now that must be eliminated immediately:

The first is Democrats.
The second is Republicans.

If we can just eliminate these two problems, we'll all be much better off.

Never has this been more clear than now during the health care war underway in this country. To call it a "debate" is a total understatement. Watch any of the town hall meetings on television and tell me we aren't on the brink of mass hysteria. These republicans are crazed about health care reform...and no, it's not because they don't approve of health care reform (Can anyone disagree that the current system is completely fucked?), but they're pissed because their "team" is losing right now and they're going to do anything they can to make sure Democrats don't succeed because that would make their "team" look bad.

Look, I'm not a democrat or a republican. I am a registered independent voter so I honestly don't have an agenda blue or red.

The problem with the two-party system is that it promotes "team politics." What happens when you turn political parties into teams? Well, common sense goes out the window and, instead of individuals voting on what's right or wrong, you have individuals voting to promote their team's integrity. It doesn't matter if the right man gets into office as long as your team wins. Then you can brag about how your team was victorious and you can feel like you've accomplished something when you really haven't done shit.

Want proof the system is fucked? Anyone remember the 2000 election between Bush II and Ecoman? We had two mediocre candidates (at best) vying for the presidency of the most powerful nation on the planet and we all know how that turned out. So basically if Hitler came back to life and ran Republican and Satan materialized and ran Democrat with Ross Perot as an independent candidate, we'd be looking at Hitler or Satan as president because everyone in America has been brainwashed into believing that voting independent is "throwing your vote away." I wonder who started that fallacy? Hmm...

Look, we need either 1000 parties or one party. With 1000 parties, Americans would be forced to take an interest in politics and actually know something about the people they're voting for. Of course, that's never going to happen so I actually support the alternative: one party. Wait...isn't that a dictatorship? You're damn right it is and it's exactly what America needs right now. Instead of the country being run by a bunch of dipshits, let's just let one really smart guy run things. I support it 100%. Maybe something would actually get done in this country.

Right now, we have a government of Republicans and Democrats poking each other in the eye and doing what's right for their party instead of what's right for their country. Let's pull all their heads out of the asses of the Big Blue Donkey and the Big Red Elephant and put these clowns back to work for their true masters: you and me.

  1. Just wait until this health care plan comes to a vote...then you will see the true ugliness of the two-party system...
