there are two organizations that control America and I am not talking about big car companies. I'm talking about two political parties known as democrat and republican. Think about this for a moment . How hard is it to run as a new political party. You won't draw enough votes from either side to form a majority because people tend to be loyal to their parties (unfortunately! Can you say cult). There is enough rigging of the system to guarantee that one party will dominate in certain areas. One such scheme is redrawing districts such that each district will have far more of one party than any other. This pretty well assures one party will stay in power as long as the demographics stay the same.
This brings me to an interesting observation which is that both of these parties are older than 150 years. The Democratic Party has been around since Jefferson and the Republican Party has been around since the civil party. I'm sure whatever issues that caused the formation of these parties have been resolved so why are they still around?
It just seems that these two parties have woven themselves into the political system in such a way that they can't be dissolved. They are just going to be around forever with party chairmen handing the reins of power to the next generation. They pick the candidates that will ultimately run this country which means the parties themselves get to decide how this country will be run. How much power do these people have over us?
They have so much control over the political system that if someone wanted to start a new political movement they are forced to infiltrate the parties where they will meet resistance. It reminds me of the internal conflict between the tea party and the Republican Party or the conflict between the new and old democrats in the sixties.
