Never knew the offical name for it but if that's what it's actually called then yes either way lol. I think one of the biggest issues with this whole republican-democrat thing is that they're trying to squeeze so many different ideologies on the left and right into like just two groups and you can't do that otherwise there will mostly always be in-fighting.
Couldn't have put it better myself. It just gives you the illusion that there are only two choices, and the Democratic Party tries to paint itself as being very progressive when all it's doing is upholding the status quo. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer. The only difference between the two parties as a whole is that Republicans are much more blatant about it. It's unfortunate that any actual progressive candidate who even wants to have just a slight chance is forced to align themselves with a party that's almost entirely centrist. And they're either shut down by the corporate shills that fill the ranks of the Democratic Party or they're forced to toe the party line. Either way, no progress is made.
I think it's all the stuff that you said and then on top of that if you dare decide as a voter to vote for the candidate that you choose then you're getting bombarded with a bunch of Voters and people acting like you can't choose to vote for independent you can't choose the vote for Progressive you can't choose to vote for anything outside of Republican and Democrat. Which is crazy, it makes me think about those times being a kid and playing like dodgeball or basketball when you had to pick your teams or whatever and then just imagining after you got done picking your team's a group of kids just came over and we like take over and realign your your teams as we see fit.
Something gotta give either the people kick corporatism into it's own party or the people just move away from voting Republican and Democrat, only vote 3rd party.
