To stop the peasants from revolting.

Remind me again, why do we have two parties?

From my FR profile:
There is no Constitutional justification, or encouragement for us having a two party system.

So why do we have this ugly situation?

Two political gangs, the Republicans, and the Socialists (who have taken over the democrat party) divide the political spoils between them, and make sure no outside candidate, or third political party can ever get elected-with a few minor exceptions.

As a right wing democrat who doesn't have a party anymore, I mostly vote for the stupid, politically inept, anti labor Republicans, because I feel they do less damage to the country and family, and are more suppportive of our Constitution, than are the Socialists,who want to destroy this country.

So you can't really expect either gang to represent you, unless you are a member in good standing, or can buy the influence, either with money, or by delivering votes. -tom

To convince us that we have a choice.
