You got it, GfS. Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans (those 2 party machines, I mean) can be counted on to EVER do anything real to change the way things are and to truly represent the public. Not a dog's chance in hell. They don't work for the public, they work for the rich elite which funds them.

The false and illusory dichotomy between them keeps everyone fighting endlessly amongst themselves over party loyalty, which is exactly why it's so useful for the elite to keep maintaining that mythological "choice" in people's minds. The whole thing is a farce, and I'm amazed anyone still believes in it, but I guess they'd rather believe in a hopeful fairy tale than face the fact that their vote really means just about nothing most of the time.

As long as they keep believing in Santa Claus, and backing one of those corrupt parties against the other, they'll just go on blaming it all on "the other party", and the farce will go on and on.

Divide and conquer. That's how it's done.
