That is correct, but have you ever asked yourself what choices the public has?
In my state, in the last election, we had a choice of two people to be a senator from our state ... neither one was fit to serve on a town council, much less in the Senate of the United States. The voters selected one ... not because he was a worthy choice but because (for those who bothered to vote, at all) they had to pick one of two pieces of trash.
And that's just for one seat in the upper house of our Congress. It is exactly the same for every seat in the Senate, the House of Representatives, and every state legislature in our land.
I hope you will read it, think about it, and try to imagine how we can re-create government "by the people" when our national political parties have enacted laws that give them absolute control of who can become our elected representatives.
Unless you live in New Jersey (and even if you do live in New Jersey), there's a good chance you've never heard of George Norcross III. Norcross is a banker in (what we call) South Jersey who is able to proclaim that he has "influence over everything that moves in New Jersey politics ...". If you'd like a bit more information on this malignant manifestation of American democracy, take a peek at:
The point is straightforward. Until we are willing ... and can summon the strength ... to break the stranglehold the political parties have on our political system, we are foolish to imagine our circumstances will improve.
