The Two Party System

I hate the two party system. It takes away any chance for real change in America. When the democrats have a life changing idea, they can’t push it through the senate because of the republicans. When the republicans have an amazing fix for a problem the democrats immediately stop it from happening. Most of the time the senators vote against something isn’t because they disagree, but because they’re not in the same party. And I thought we had come so far in eliminating discriminations. If I can sue someone for not hiring me because of my race, religion, or gender, why is it still legal for this countries so called leaders to do the same? Granted it may be because they do actually disagree, but then again don't you have to probe racism or sexism too? The parties cause these problems. Senators are pressured by their respective parties to vote in favored of whatever their party agrees with those few brave men who vote against their parties, those modern day heroes who truly embody the ideals of America and the American revolutionaries, having the right to speak out and vote in favor of your opinions instead of simply being a puppet of the grand old party or the NPR party, not being a true politician.
I’m sure anyone reading this is going to think I’m nuts, “everyone has their opinions and supports them”. But that’s not true because we all dream, as children to fix the world don’t we? We all imagine our ideals and we think of ways that make the world a better place. And those few who go into a position that could actually change something, a position of power, all believe that they’re going to defy the odds and stereotypes to change the world. And they all start out trying too. But then it slowly changes. A small compromise here or there again and again until the law and politics just become another way to make a buck. Its incredible really, how little most politicians actually believe in what they say. They’ve gone from pure innocence to corrupt men and women saying anything to keep their power. There’s a simple fix though. Limit the amount of terms anyone can serve. Make it two, or two non-consecutive terms. Hell reduce it to one. Make politics for the people again instead of just more jobs for the people in it.
