For the sake of my argument, I'm referring to US politics.

So, lets create two sides with ideological differences. People are bound to identify with one over another. Views are bound to change over time, but parties will adapt, making it so you still have to vote for one of the two parties.

People that don't vote R or D will be seen as fringe (libertarians, for example), labeled as kooks, and will never get enough of the vote to take over as a real threat.

Those behind it all, with money and power, win either way, Republican and Democrat. While we're too busy pointing fingers at each other, these bastards keep getting richer.

Agreed wholeheartedly but I'm in the minority on CE and really in any situation.

Precisely why I have never bothered to vote, it's a waste of time choosing between identical piles of shit.

Glad you just figured this out. It's a handshake agreement between two sides that claim to have difference to make sure they only have power.

I didn't just figure this out, just felt like it was worth a post since there is so much division here.

Definitely true. And now we have a brainwashed nation yelling "E-MAILS" and "RACIST/HOMOPHOBIC PRESIDENT".

While Trump keeps back slapping his buddies, making back room deals, and counting his bank, he laughs that we keep falling for it.
