It does!

And we don't like either party! In fact, I think the only solution (which will, of course, never happen) is to surround the beltway and remove everyone who has ever been in any kind of office. Replace them with people from all walks of life. Give them a tutorial on how to write laws. Make them obey the laws they write, live among the people they represent (within a ...[text shortened]...
I have a lot more "insane ideas" but that would be a good start.

I would add to that only one proviso: make them reveal their sources of income and their tax returns.

Include minor political parties in the debates. The competition would be good. The reason the 2 major political parties are so unpopular is because they don't have to do any better, so they don't try to please the public. Real competition would change that.

People would express a 3rd option and reject the 2 party duopoly. It would fail to turn people against each other and people would be more likely to see their common enemy, the plutocracy. The parasitic elites who have you in economic slavery.

Funny how you can never actually answer a question, ALWAYS shoot off another question instead.
And it looks like you are in fact glued to your monitor with quick responses.
Tell me, do you actually have a real life or is it ALL just here in front of your monitor?

All the personal stuff....why everyone write personal diatribes, we dont even know each other. Wouldn't you rather do facts, like how can AvJoe think we should limit the immigrants to 1 Million a year? Please AvJoe, tell us how you arrive at that. Instead, you would write. 'your heartless basterd' or some such. I mean, what does such a statement get you? It gets zilch.
