This is how a duopoly functions, eliminating decisions, reducing choices and providing two corporate wrapped solutions to every problem.

Read the Rules

A few more days and the people are all going to troll to the polls and declare they cannot lead themselves ala Occupy, and need some loser to make up rules for them.

Then they will be shocked and horrified, that said loser actually went with the money instead of the clowns that voted for him/her.

Of course, if you can pin the atrocities on someone else, the people always gobble that up.

Rinse and repeat in another two years.

Same shit, different pile. Blah blah blah...

At this point, America is not capable of functioning as a democracy.

Good post. Third party candidates definitely do seem to be the answer.

Great post. Economy is back to 2005 levels, and people still not given what they want, due to the corporate tyranny, ( jobs, rising pay), due to the corporate hijack of government and democracy. The terrorists won, by default america

Forget about foreign terrorists - the damage done here in the good ol US of A - has been done by Domestic Terrorists in Business - corp(se)oRATions Financial Industrial Mercantile - with the aide of their henchmen/terrorists in office.

The duop ended in 1963. It's all about carpetbagging now.

Another election, and lets see what we ended up with in Congress...

GASP! Nothing but Democrats and Republicans? So in the last two years we have not managed to put something together on our own? I am totally shocked!!

Here's hoping in 2016 the people get AT LEAST ONE FUCKIN PERSON in Congress who is not beholden to D and R criminals.
