The party mentality

We have only one party, The Establishment Party and it's because "We The People" allow it. This is called a monopoly and Bernie says we must break these things up. The Dems and the Repubs are interchangeable and it's only because of politicians egos and job security that we have 2 imaginary sides. Everyone knows you need 2 teams to play a game because with only one team you stand on the field motionless. This gives the lofty politicians a debate stage to continue their pretense of Ivy league intellectual dominance over the masses and for some reason we play this game.

At last comes an elected official that wants to get off the showy debate stage and mingle with the masses. "We The People" are so bewildered that only the ones that see thru the mirage jump for joy and the rest are so befuddled and threatened by genuine actions that they cling desperately to the security of the status quo. Either we take decades to educate them that we are all Americans FIRST and FOREMOST or we set-up our own people's stage (party) and let the others slowly evolve.

All Americans deserve a daily voice in governing ourselves and not just a vote every 2 years.
