Wow what is in the Republican's and Democrat's kool-aid these days?

Could someone please explain why people buy into this whole two party system and then bicker back and forth like a divorced couple in a power struggle?

Benjamin Franklin wrote a long time ago that government could function well without elections .
Yet if you want people to support what it is doing you must give them the illusion that they are participating in the decisions .

By having a two party system which operates effectively in the growth of government by both sides you eliminate the ability of the people to have what they need from government and instead feed the government what it needs .
"Should those appointed to make laws be tempted to call an election for each matter that comes before them, they might better be served to dismiss the body and busy themselves with holding elections."
When tough decisions must be made it is the politicians who fail to meet this challenge and instead become mired in elections and popularity .

The presumption of dictating to an independent nation the form of its government is so arrogant, so atrocious, that indignation as well as moral sentiment enlists all our partialities and prayers in favor of one and our equal execrations against the other

Sorta wish both parties would drink from Jim Jones cup.....
It's this simple- we are in a dispute between socialism and capitalism. There are 2 different ideologies. If socialism wasn't a genuine threat, many of us would defect to a 3rd party- libertarian. Very small governement and keeping govt out of our lives financially and morally, is the solution.

But dear God in heaven, socialism is a bigger threat than most people realize. The intention of the hardcore socialists, is to undemine our society to build it back up with socialim.
For right now, we can't afford a 3rd party, which would be a vote for the American Insurgents.
I don't bicker.
I am thankful that I live in a country where I am allowed to do just that.

God Bless the USA!
