Elephant and Asses are screwing the Masses and we the people are the masses.

It seems like people don't care either, they are too busy arguing which party is worse and who is to blame. I can't help but sit back and think are these people serious? They think their party is golden and the other party is horrible. And me, I sit here and look at history and see the big picture. It is both of their faults.
300 Million people in American around 80 million vote during a Presidential election even less for when we are not voting for President. 80 Million people that go back and forth voting the same two parties in and expecting different results. 40 Million or so voters in each party making all the decisions for the 220 Million who are either too young to vote, or can't vote, or won't vote because there is no 3rd choices in most elections and when there is they don't get any media coverage.
Republicans and Democrats alike are unhappy with government, but have been brainwashed to think one of two political party is better than the other and that a third party can never be an option. It isn't election season yet, but I am hoping by posting now, will get people thinking about how these two parties don't get a damn about you and I. They care about lining their own pockets. What other job can you do and get paid for the rest of your life for having done it. Getting elected into Congress, The Senate or POTUS and you get paid for the rest of your life. How is that fair that we pay for these guys for the rest of their lives.
220 Million people don't vote, 100 Million of those can't because of age or because they are on parole (which I think is BS, but that is another topic for another day) That leaves 120 Million voters that third parties need to reach. If 50 to 60 Million of those voters went out and voted for a 3rd party we would see real change good for the people instead of good for the corporations and politicians at least that is my opinion on it.
What do you think about the blame game. Be nice and respectful, I know political differences can cause conflict and that isn't what I am trying to do. I just see 2 parties in charge for over 100 years and things are going to shit.
We need real change in America and part of that change is stopping government waste, and paying these people a salary for the rest of their lives is not smart, and it kind of pisses me off. Anyone else can't work in a government job for a term or two and get paid for the rest of their lives and they shouldn't. That is what retirement is for, money you save to live off of. It shouldn't be on our backs.
I agree with what you are saying. These so called left and right are just their way of dividing and conquering the "masses". In order to change the world we need to change our way of thinking, there's no right or left paradigm. Until we understand this we are always going to live in the state of ignorance and despair. I do have to say that crypto has given us a sliver of light in a very dark tunnel.
