You just typed a bunch of vague stuff because you can't actually respond to me. > There's never been an alternative to vote for, and every attempt gets smeared in the media owned by the two-party system representing the oligarchs. The two parties aren't controlled by anyone except primary voters. There is hardly any mechanism in the US to stop anyone who wants from joining either party, as long as you can get votes. This is an unusual case of other countries' politics infecting ours; in other countries the parties actually can fire people and control their candidate list. Here they can't do anything. Also the US doesn't have oligarchs. That's a specific word with a specific meaning. Closest you can get would be defense contractor CEOs but those just aren't that important here; you probably only know one.
