      Oh, oh no, no no no no no, No. this isn’t a one party system, this is something far worse, this is what comes exactly right before a one party system. That is a two radicalized polarized adversarial party system. One must go but neither will leave willingly, there is more concentration of money and power in these two parties than possibly any other group on earth and maybe through out all history, make no mistake the only thing that will hold the country back from civil war is the Bomb, and that is only a maybe.

      We might not quite be that bad yet but all the peaces are in place and adversarial moves are already being made.

      it’s really not one party.

      To be clear we have one party, that is effectively fascist, and another party that is, center left/right and very moderate.

          well yes, people are the one species with money, so that does apply. (yes it’s a rich people meme i know, that is a big problem)

          If we’re breaking it down this significantly there is no politics, merely the human hierarchical structure of control.

            no politics, merely the human hierarchical structure of control.

            I’d love to hear the perspective where this makes sense.

              the animal kingdom.

              Animals fight and kill eachother over territorial disputes regularly.

              Humans have done this since the beginning of human society. Technology arguably only exists as an extension of being able to kill other people more effectively. Politics is just a mechanism for directing and organizing the effectiveness of modern human society in order to best defend it’s values and resources.

              TL;DR given the ability to influence and control things, humans (or animals) will take the opportunity to do so. Everything around you is just an extension of this ability.
