Why can't Americans understand that there is only 1 political party in their country - not 2 like they think?

Question

I mean really, if you can't comprehend that, then what DO you comprehend?
All this con/lib stuff is smoke and mirrors people. I know you've been told different your whole life, and it's hard to think otherwise (being brainwashed this entire time). If you could think for yourself and do some comparative reading and research as a human not as an "American" you could wake up too! Turn off your TV and you'll have a chance.
Now respond with hate for trying to wake you up. Hopefully one of you (just one) got a split second of clarity.

Answer 1

There are two political parties -- in the sense that there are two organizations that have together seized control of our govt and instituted a strange-lock on anyone else participating.

I say we need to kick both of them out.

Answer 2

You're right in a way, and you're wrong in a way. The two major political parties many times have the same agenda even though they try to make it seem that they don't. Other times they truly have different agendas.
The same can be said inside the political parties themselves. Inside of a party even though they might agree in general there are differences. People who see the similarities among the members of the said party will say that EVERYONE in the party belong to the same party. People who see the differences will state that their factions inside the party itself.

Answer 3

I must say that I am pleasantly surprised that so many people agree with you. I knew since the 8th grade that there was no difference between the two (that was 4 years ago) and the more I've been reading, the more sure I am of it. We are made to think that we have a choice. Its an illusion of power by the people...

Answer 4

The GOP with their phony systems and precise wing extremism is by skill of far the closest to the NAZI celebration. purely in usa does human beings exist which do no longer understand the reality that despite if a celebration is all a thank you to the the suitable option or all a thank you to the left the quantity of oppression is the comparable. Politics is nearly a swinging pendulum, no longer caught however the suitable suggestions from all aspects are employed to make a sane society.

Answer 5

Working both on political campaigns and as a civil servants in state legislature I can assure you there are 2 parties and they see things very differently as to the course of America in the future.

Answer 6

corygraph, you are so right and I do hope people will wake up and do exactly as you suggest, get rid of our party system , because both are controlled by the same people the Zionist Aipac, and big business, no one represents the American people, the dummies who put them in office,
therefore it won't make any difference who is elected from our party system, they will do as their masters tell them to do
also, any politician who won't sell out to these thugs will not be elected because the Zionist own the news media and can destroy anyone they wish,,

Answer 7

So basically the same as all other countries...
Most realize it is all the same, but until those who run for office quit putting a party ahead of the people they represent, it will be business as usual, emphasis on 'business'.

Answer 8

You are partially right. But in all my blind ignorance I keep hoping for a ray of light to shine forth. Looking for one soul that can't be bought. In my humble opinion if there is such a soul they will come from the left. The values on the other side are all war, greed, and .......nevermind, I could go on for hours.

Answer 9

Both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party are controlled by corporations.

They may claim to have different values, but they do share one value and that is money.

Answer 10

I know there is technically only one party, and it is controlled by corporations and special interests. That is why I vote for candidates in the Libertarian Party, who don't affiliate themselves with corporations and who I know can be trusted for the most part when it comes to not being loyal to corporations.
