You seem to think I am championing the 2 party system. Im not Im just stating the dynamics of it.
Although I dont really get your implications that something along the lines of "the man" is pulling the strings of politics.
Interest money has a terrible effect on politcs for sure and we need to fight it. But its not the organised enemy you supose. Its an older and more pervasive enemy - greed - at fairly individual level.
And its not making elaborate plans - everything is fairly direct. Everyone is short sighted, bad greedy people tend to be the most short sighted. Mostly the probelem is people through money at polticos in hopes of getting what they want.
Even if someone had a big long term plan it would probably be lost in the wash of "donations" aimed at short term gain.
Its bad and its simple.
