    It's not because of political parties. It's because political office has become a career.

    Term limits would solve a lot of problems. They need to be forced to live under the same rules they impose on us.

    Yes, but if everyone keeps voting "A" or "B" regardless of what job they do we'll never be rid of either career politicians or the one and a half party system.

    True. Most just vote for a currency collapse. They say screw anyone who does not identify as a (D) or (R).

    The reason they can't change the country is that the other two get people to believe that they cannot and that the "lesser of two evils" is best. Well the lesser of two evils has certainly changed the country, that's for sure!
