iustitia

It's something I often think about when contemplating the corrupt nature of the two-party system. After WWII the Nazi Party was banned in Germany. The Communist Party was banned in the Soviet Union after a failed coup. At what point should a political party be considered such a huge menace that its existence should no longer be tolerated?
For the record...
Since its creation in 1828 Democrats:
Threatened the invasion of South Carolina and the execution of its leaders during the Nullification Crisis
Engaged in forced relocations of Native Americans which ultimately cost the lives of thousands
Used the federal government to expand the institution of chattel slavery into new territory
Started a war with Mexico, costing the lives of tens of thousands of Americans and Mexicans, for money
Created the Fugitive Slave Act, mandating that Americans turn in slaves fleeing to freedom
Supported black codes, segregation, Jim Crow laws and the like along with Plessy v Ferguson
Got America involved in a world war, with over one hundred thousand American casualties, for the profit of financial elites
Got America involved in another world war, the bloodiest war in human history, based on lies
Threw Americans of Japanese descent into concentration camps
Waged the Korean War, costing millions of lives, to maintain a South Korean dictatorship
Since its creation in 1854 Republicans:
Waged the bloodiest war in American history, killing nearly 1 million people, over taxes
Exterminated the Plains Indians for the sake of railroad interests
Engaged in the occupation of the southern states and institution of military governments during Reconstruction
Started a war with Spain, costing the lives of tens of thousands of Americans, Spaniards, Cubans and Filipinos, for money
Committed the genocide of 300,000 Filipinos upon destroying their independence
Overthrew governments in Iran, Guatemala and elsewhere for big business connections
Have armed, trained and funded terrorists throughout the world to protect their interests
Both parties engaged in the Banana Wars and terrorized Latin American and Caribbean peoples for decades. Both parties have for over a century engaged in an incestuous relationship with corporate interests, selling out the interests of common citizens and allowing the rich to write their own legislation. Both parties routinely engage in nepotism. Both parties lie about everything. Both parties empowered the militarization of police. Both parties got us entrenched in Vietnam. Both parties have started and supported illegal wars overseas in the Middle East and elsewhere. Both parties created and maintain what is tantamount to a police state. Both parties consistently diminish constitutional rights of citizens while pointing fingers at the other side all while both get paid by the same people. Both parties have contempt for common citizens. Both have no problem killing without trials, charging whistle-blowers with treason, and spying on Americans without warrants.
In their combined tenure Democrats and Republicans have with their duopoly over power done more to threaten the life, freedom and well-being of Americans than the British, Nazis or Soviets ever did. Why the hell should these two bastard parties of abomination be allowed to exist?
