(36,723 posts)I didn't mean to represent the boxes as a left to right line. More of a 2 very small partisan rich boxes, 2 medium boxes full of partisans that vary greatly on issues like gun control, abortion, etc and actually vote - and are very manipulated because they seem to ignore economics, and then 1 quite large box of folks not voting because they don't strongly identify with the propaganda and aren't motivated to vote because they don't think it affects them (ie they don't see change when they do vote). That could very much include leftists or libertarians (left or right in other words) who feel their ideas aren't even given consideration.
In a way I blame the "founding fathers" for this nonsense. The "voters" when we declared independence were white, male land-owners. They set it up as 2 parties which ensures that the establishment wins.
