America The Victimized

American politics is a sham. Between the Democrats and the Republicans, the people are not being represented. Instead, special interests and big business are the catered to demographics.

We the people have been forgotten. It's assumed by the "two party" system that we've assumed our position as sheep or lemmings, readily gobbling up the rhetoric spewed by both parties. We're supposed to think that nothing gets done because "the other side" blocks all good work.

If that is truly the case, then we need to rid ourselves of "both sides" and start over. By and large, the political leanings of both Democrats and Republicans are out of step with either party. The democrats align with the party because they see it as the only fight against big business interests of the Republicans. The republicans align themselves with the party because they see it as the only fight against throwing away the freedoms earned through blood sacrifice of our ancestors.

The reality however, is that both parties are deviating away from the interests of our nation, away from the foundation of our Constitution, and into paths that each pose their own dangers.

We can't accept this as a nation. However, there is no answer. Each party holds inconsistency, including the alternate parties such as Independent and Centralist. To further the problem, any alternate parties have no power in politics. The presidential race boils down to who the D and R put on the ticket. We've been so ingrained that only those votes count that we only choose those letters in order to prevent throwing our votes away.

Whatever the answer is, it doesn't lie in the party Democrat or the party Republican. Only a future of continued disenfranchisement awaits us. Does anybody have an answer?
