The consititution of the United States of America guarantees it's citizens a nuber of unalienable rights, one of which is to choose their own leadership. Everyone who wishes to do just that has been royally screwed because of two things: 1. The Republican Party 2. The Democratic Party Basically, it boils down to the parties themselves, and their ability to decide who is running to rrepresent our country. That's our right, and our duty. For example, at the moment, we can have one of three men for president: George W. Bush, John Kerry, and Ralph Nader. So, if someone dislikes all of these people, just what are they to do? They don't want any of these people leading their country, ye tone of them will. If the majority of the people hate Bush and Kerry, they're forced to vote for one anyway. Democracy, my ass.
"For example, at the moment, we can have one of three men for president: George W. Bush, John Kerry, and Ralph Nader. So, if someone dislikes all of these people, just what are they to do?" Well technically they can do a write in. But i completely agree with you 100% man. Peace and Love, Dan
Don't blame the parties, there are other parties on the ballot this year and every other year, no one votes for them though.
While this is true, how come the media does not give them any attention? Do you know the candidates from each party? It is complete bullshit, and we do not have a choice on who will be in office.
Two parties are better than one. If Bush gets in with a Republican Congress, he'll appoint Republicans to the Supreme Court and we'll effectively have a ONE party system, and the Government will be in the hands of the Republican National Committee. At least if Kerry gets elected we'll have two parties. It would be great to have additional significant parties in our country but with the way our government is set up, it's nearly impossible to have multiple parties. We'd have to go to a parlimentary system.
So, you're saying that Bush, Kerry and Nader are the only three people running for office? I agree, though... the two-party system is extremely flawed.
