The problem is a two party system in which corporate shills do what their handlers pay them to do. No matter which side you claim allegiance to, you are buying in to a broken corrupt system. Our government looks more like that of Italian corporatism, than of the representative democracy spelled out in our constitution.
A major problem: The "constitution" has become a document vague enough that if you disagree with someone, you can spin it to suit your argument. For example, Who cares that it guarantees the right to life? If you look at the "constitutionally guided" politicians in my home state, you will quickly see that the right to life that they claim to fight for is reserved for fetuses and the elderly. Their policies and spending choices demonstrate as much.
- I am not truly represented by a single individual at any level of government, any who say they are to be mistrusted.
