Well aware of Kabuki theater and have referred to our alleged two party system as such, myself.
It was quite some time ago, that I disavowed myself of such delusions.
Probably some time shortly after Reagan.
Some think I’m a cynic but I consider myself a realist.

I personally feel we’ve been in an endless loop of Hegelian Dialectic for decades.
They let us believe our votes make any difference and then switch “sides” every so often so that we don’t lapse into total despair.
For some of us, it’s not working.
