(108 posts)Unless you're ready to storm the Bastille and bust out the guillotines (and I might follow you if you do, but YOU make the first move, okay?) then working within the system is all we can do.
Otherwise, sitting here and making blanket statements without really researching each individual circumstance is meaningless and distracting. For example, do you even know how the ACA came about or do you just assume in your fantasy world that the nefarious PTB met in a dark room (like at Jekyll Island all those years ago) to unleash their dastardly plans upon the American people? It was a process, and like any process undertaken in the American legislative system, major compromises were eventually made. Do you know why the two-parties sometimes seem the same? Because they have to compromise like this all the time and neither ever gets what they really want.
Is there a level of corporatism that I want OUT of politics completely? Yes. Based on JUST that fact can you assume that both parties are the same? NO...it's a logical fallacy, at best and a way to undermine their very real differences in an attempt to disempower those that support them, at worst.
