What to do???????
Suggestions:
1) Not give up.
2) Don't believe the lying bastards when they each talk about how 'they will be the greatest thing since sliced bread'. Rather, support divided powers in government, our Constitutions excellent 'checks and balances', and don't EVER let ANY particular group grab ALL the reins of power.
3) The two dominant political Parties have worked co-operatively for many, many decades to rig the system so as to EXCLUDE any new Parties or new political movements from ever having the opportunity to gain traction. (Naturally enough, this as worked so as to limit the amount of new ideas or fresh thinking that can break through....) Result: stagnation and decline. Pork barrel spending and *massive* never ending government deficits. The steady erosion of individual liberties, and a steadily rising government drag on the economy.
How have the two Parties managed this? By erecting a high ring fence around their political turf, by banning traditional tools (like 'fusion voting') that in PREVIOUS decades used to revitalize our politics, and by harmful 'ballot access' requirements, gerrymandering, etc., etc.
Solution? Oppose them every time they do this.
Or, sit back quietly and let the decline continue.... |
