I can barely comprehend what anyone is saying in this thread.

But it appears to be another bullshit discussion about whose worse for America, the left or the right. Why are so many Americans completely brainwashed by the two-party system?

There is no conspiracy. The extremes on both sides pull shit in every state. From re-districting in Texas to what happened in 2004 in Mass. To try and pretend that one side is really worse than the other is a futile exercise.

George Carlin, bless his soul, said, "as long as ignorant and selfish Americans vote, we'll get ignorant and selfish politicians". We're them and they're us. Until a new third party of common sense comes along, nothing will change.

But we have to change from being whipped by our two-party system first, which has so many Americans brainwashed.
