This dumbed down political system in the US is very annoying.
Doesn't matter how many different political views people have.
At the end as a voter you're forced to choose one of the two options. You're either a democrat or a republican otherwise you're nothing. And this is called Democracy.Unfortunately Erdogan is pushing Turkey towards this system too. Great for fascists and illusionary democracies.
- I know people who don't like Hillary but will vote for her and republicans who don't like Trump but probably vote for him.Beeswax
- Yes, US political parties are an affront to democracy. It should always be noted that the political parties are NOT part of the US democratic system.nb
- They are independent groups. They are not required to exist. They have taken control of power, and it would be near impossible to dissolve them.nb
- standard 2 party system no? others can rise if popular no?fadein11
- There are others but without the $$$ they are pretty much unknowns.monospaced
- Nothing is stopping other parties from rising. Except for billions of dollars, brand recognition, accusations that vote-splitting is giving away the election.nb
- Also there are a bunch of actual laws that prevent third parties from getting on the ballot in many districts. ... and who came up with those laws?nb
- Well those laws also prevent a bunch of morons running in every election... oh Trump, damit.fadein11
- Also consider things like nationally televised debates for over a year before elections. Non-party candidates get zero coverage. Most don't know they exist.nb
- in the end the morons are the people.yurimon
