What Has Party Dysfunction Wrought?

No secret here that I think that this election has the worse choices for president…….one party has embraced a more bigotry position the other has gone from Center-Left to Right leaning…bypassed the center altogether.

We have alternatives to the two major parties but they are getting zero press so most Americans learn about them accidentally….

The parties, GOP and the Dems, have become a dysfunctional mess…….

The polls consistently show that the vast majority of voters—about 130 million in total—do not like either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, who were selected by just over 30 million people. There must be something wrong with our system of government when the people have two candidates foisted upon them by less than 25 percent of the whole.

At first blush, the answer is simple: That’s democracy, so what? But upon closer inspection, things are substantially more complicated. “Democracy” is not simply a matter of letting the people decide. There is also a process to determine how the votes are counted, as well as who will be deemed a serious candidate, and who will not. Yes, voters have the power to choose in a democracy, but before they have exercised that power, a whole host of other actors have exercised their own authority, determining how the choice itself will be structured.

After the vote….will the parties return to their original position….whatever that was?

Or is this the face of crap to come?
