Re: This is what America wantedsaid by etaadmin:said by Angrychair:The next set of elections is in 2018. If you don't like what you're seeing go to the polls and vote for the democratic party in every race you can. I don't think that is the correct answer... if I believed in down votes I would give you one. Because not liking what you're getting but going back and asking for more of it is the right answer? |

And basing your vote on just one thing is? Caps are the least of my issues when I go to vote for someone. There are bigger things that affect me more than just caps. |

I never said anyone should base their vote on this issue or anything, I said if you don't like what you're seeing out of the elected government then you should vote against them. Voting for more of the same which you don't like really doesn't make sense to me but maybe it does for you. |

No, but playing the two party game isn't going to be the right answer either; we need to end this dual party nonsense once and for all. |

Yea, but you're voting for more of the same yourself. Both parties are betraying the American people right now. |

For that you would have to totally rewrite the constitution and completely overhaul the ridiculous and outdated U.S. electoral system. And you know exactly that this is not going to happen. So why such comment. The exclusive two party system is here to stay and you have to play within it's rules. |

Voting blindingly for democrats will not fix anything, probably they'll claim the Russians are colluding with charter to impose usage caps. |

Why such a comment? Because each political party is so interested in shoving their extreme agenda down peoples' throat instead of balancing the interests of all Americans fairly. |

The problem is the mentality of most voters, ignoring anything that does not read Democrat or Republican on the ticket. We the people have the power to leave the 2 party system if only we would wake up to that fact. 1) Democrat 2) Republican 3) Green 4) Libertarian 5) Independent |

said by PamelaTS:Independent is not a party and there are actually several others that never garner more than barely a blip in votes. There is such a thing as the independent party, it's essentially another libertarian party. Belonging to the independent party is not the same as being registered as no party affiliation.

The two-party system is not enshrined in the Constitution. No re-write necessary, just for voters to seriously look at non-mainstream parties. |
