Default Re: OT 2 party political system

Yep, that's why I called it a tyrrany. It may be labelled democracy (tm) - government by the people. However, if all the people can vote on is whether to have Scumbag A or Sleazebag B, etc., er...

It's more of a tyrrany by way of defective system, the people's own ignorance, and the people who take advantage of it. So it goes. I like to think that eventually, however, people will change it. Not that that's really any good.

The way to get enough support and awareness to change it is through discussion, media, and arts. Fortunately, it's a pretty easy concept to illustrate.
