Are Americans really that stupid to believe in a 2 party system?

Question

when in fact they exist to keep simpleminds at odds to distract 99% of the simpletons in this country from the truths and facts, at the highest levels both parties have the same agenda( do your research and you will find this to be very true)

multimillionaires and billionaires use the 2 party system as their pawns-it keeps workerbees busy bickering so they never look for the real facts

Answer 1

It is plainly a Plutocratic Corporatocracy and the modern day slave is the poor guy that tries to keep afloat with the banks, insurance companies, oil companies laughing all the way to billions.

Answer 2

No , Americans are not " so " stupid to believe in a 2 party system . Two parties makes polititions concentrate on the real issues . When you have a multy-party system ; you reduce the possibilty of any party having an overall majority . You have minor parties in a coalition concentrating on periferal issues , which slows up government . If you go the whole way like Italy , with some 16 parties all aiming in different directions ; you have a stalemate , effectively a parliament but government only in name .
It is better to have a government of clearly visible policies , that the people can hate and not vote for next time .

Answer 3

No, i do no longer believe that could artwork. of path we've a 2-social gathering equipment. The mythical third social gathering must be in direction of the middle as a manner to have any desire of ever supplanting the two the Republicans or the Democrats. because of the fact the Tea social gathering is a lot to the dazzling of the Republicans, they should the two be absorbed or dominate an alliance between those 2 as a manner to keep away from a Democratic sparkling sweep. there have been different third events in historic previous, yet they finally become spoilers quite than gaining ability. I agree that the gulf between the two events has no longer been extra suitable in my lifetime. The adjustments you propose would fairly propose starting to be a distinctive u . s . a .. a million. no one is rather an "self sufficient." A presidential campaign is a few distance too high priced and hard work-in intensity. 2. The Senate has the significant function of balancing off the inhabitants-based representation interior the living house. with out the Senate, low-density states would be at a extreme drawback. 3. there is not any term limits on the living house because of the fact they run each 2 years. in the event that they'd save getting re-elected, they must be doing something outstanding. 4. A president who has no ought to respond to the will of the voters from the day he has sworn in would desire to do massive injury in six years. the adult adult males who wrote the form studied all the probabilities, and that i think of they did a great activity. do no longer look to alter the form lots because of the fact the present political climate.

Answer 4

I DON'T.
I'm not sure what percentage of the population would outright choose this type of system but my guess is that it results from pure mental laziness and a herd mentality because it definitely is NOT representative.
Most people who vote are "one issue voters" meaning they only have one overarching issue which directs their vote such as Iraq or abortion taxes gay marriage or gun control
and they vote for a candidate that represents their belief on that issue.

The problem with this is that there are a whole HOST of issue facing mour great nation.

I agree withn the whiny liberals on some things and the tight assed Republicans on sme others but there is no party that truly represents me.

Therefore I vote for individuals not parties.

A multiparty system though like they have in other countries would bring more issues to the forefront and force the jerks in power to actually compromise more often. They would also have to come up with real answers rather than just soundbites.

I am sure though that we will be stuck with this 2 party nonsense for quite some time

Answer 5

A two party system is the hallmark of a stable, functioning political system. Having several different parties would almost guarantee that no President would ever be elected with a solid majority. Even if run-offs were instated, it would allow fringe parties to make it into the run-off election because moderate voters would have divided themselves among various other parties. The two party system forces those two parties to appeal to society at large rather than simply to small fringe extremist groups.

I guess I'm just a dumb simpleton who isn't sophisticated enough to understand your conspiracy theories. Maybe you should put your tin foil hat back on and go back to your bomb shelter before the Freemasons come to steal your bone marrow.

Answer 6

So, i suppose you are among the 1% of non-simpletons?

Lol, yea...right!

How did you manage to figure all this out? Came to you one day after smoking some wacky tobaccy?

Answer 7

This has been happening since the dawn of civilization. One small group controls a very large group. Whatever works to help that process along (military might, economic stratification, caste system, religion, etc.) is called civilization. Tell me any time in history where that has not been the case. People are willing to buy into any system that helps to meet their basic needs. It's human nature, it's ingrained, it's never been changed and never will.

Answer 8

I love how people use this as a message board to state their opinion in the form of a question. But the answer is yes. In my opinion, the only way to fix the electoral process in the United States is to institute campaign finance reform like they have in Arizona so money becomes less of an issue in campaigns. If a campaign didn't cost millions, more citizens would have the oppurtunity to run for office, which might start to cut down on the number of career politicians. I'd love to see Nader become president, but somehow I don't ever see that happening.

Answer 9

I'll go you one better:

The world is so full of idiots trying to get here that they haven't figured it out either!

The USA is simply the greatest country on the planet, and we got this way despite our two party system--or because of it...you decide...

Answer 10

Yep, i couldn't agree more. Our political system is absurd. You would serve the country better by voting for none of them. Maybe our elected thieves, liars and general nogoods would get the message that the people are not happy with the choices we have.
