American Politics, a false choice

Tweet

Most people who vote for a president either vote Democrat or Republican. The problem with this ideology is that our political system has been suffering under a duopoly. Both parties take bribes (campaign contributions, fund-raising dinners, buying books, paid-speeches) and work at the behest of the corporate "donors". Most people are brainwashed into believing that a vote for a third party is a wasted vote. Well now you have Donald Trump for the next 8 years because the Democratic party did not make any adjustments to their strategy. In order for the middle class to have a voice in the next political election, a real political revolution needs to take place. If a third party amasses at least 5% of the presidential vote, that third party would would qualify for public matching funds. This means that the expenses of running a campaign would be subsidized by the government. If we continue the same path of a two-party system, the middle class will continually lose.
