The 2 party system in the US is just theatre.

The 2 party system in the US is just theatre. They spend their time pointing fingers at each other, causing division amongst the people, distracting us into fighting over whatever issue is at hand, all while robbing us blind while we're not paying attention. The system is definitely rigged. I say we vote for who ever is best for the job, not who they pick and put before us, like we really have a say in the outcome.
Also recently heard an everywoman posit that technology has potential to change our system. We could eliminate the middleman electeds, something not doable in the 18th c. We vote on legislation ourselves. We write bills ourselves (with legal consultation: wouldn’t want to pull embarrassing Senator Pans now would we?) Nothing fleshed out but dang, the idea of getting rid of the lobbyist-loving, last-minute-pork-insertions-that-have-nothing-whatsoever-to-do-with-the-substance-of-a-piece-of-legislation middleman sure sounds appealing. We would all have to become schooled but, the price of liberty is high, as is in our face so plainly now.
