I imagine a real life remake of Aladdin where a thief kidnaps a rich girl and gets her hooked on opium. They lay in the drug house on a filthy carpet, out of their minds on drugs. A flee infested monkey eats scraps off the floor and yells at them. The thief forces the girl into slavery, always chasing the next high. Until the thief tries to blackmail the girl’s father. But the father’s business partner finds out and under brutal shariah law the girl gets beheaded. The thief is locked up and goes insane inside the dungeon, he talks to a blueish rock vaguely shaped like a man until he dies from dysentery.
Imho the two party system is just a way to manipulate people and then put them against each other. Treating life like it’s black or white like you either are an ally or a lifelong enemy that must be vanquished.
As far as I’m concerned the only point of modern politics is to keep people under control by giving them a false choice and a common enemy in their neighbor
Yeah this meme is ass. If it makes anyone feel better, in Canada we have five parties that fail us instead of just two. The advantage there is we get to complain with more granularity. It’s the uncommon lose-lose-lose-lose-lose!
Like one time I was waiting for an elevator in a parking garage. It was empty other than me. The door opened and an old woman was there. She smiled at me, and that made my day because it was the best compliment I’ve ever received.
While I completely agree the issue is one party is completely playing in bad faith. I’m not says the Democrats are perfect and there is a fair amount of bad apples but Republican are complete taken over by bad actors that have no one interests but themselves and those that in rich them. At this time voting 3rd party wouldn’t help, it would just make sure the Republican most likely trump will win.
America’s Overton window so far to the right that the Republican Party is not as seen far-right fascist party but just “right” (no word play intended).
