Bi-Party!

Soo. Here we are again. On a similar note, why are we here... I coulda sworn I just knew... Oh. Right.

Welcome to America. You can choose your president, utilize free speech and eat fast food until your head--or stomach--asplodes. How do we choose our president? Why, the people vote for the candidate they like!

You can vote for whoever you like, as long as they're on the ballot, but if you want to vote for somebody who has a chance, you better pick a candidate from one of the two main parties: Democrat or Republican.

Now, these parties are very nice. The champagne at the Republican party was phenomenal and the Democrats had astoundingly loud music. I'm not even sure what they were playing. But I'd like to go to a party more suited for my needs.

Many people think like this in America. They don't like the bi-party system that basically narrows the presidential candidates down to two options: This Person or That Person doesn't really fit the bill of president, but who else is there?

The founding fathers of America saw that a bi-party system was a ridiculous notion as well, thought they maybe didn't foresee the extremely loooong campaign trails of the twenty-first century candidate. I think it's hardly likely the founders of America wanted candidates spending a year of their time--this is especially true of senators and representatives--not doing their job just so they can maybe attain the presidency.

In short, the independents of America should band together in their lack of Democrat and Republican politics and present our own candidate.

Well said. But do you think we'll ever have a viable 3rd party? I don't think the generation in charge is up to it, but maybe yours can.

Good Ruck.
