There is no such thing as a "two party political system. " This "system (for lack of a better term) is comprised of a monolithic body of corporate elites - evrything else is just smoke and mirrors.
It is so corrupted. It's time individuals run on their values and beliefs without a tag or an organization attached to them. Too many people vote party rather than person and too often even if a person isn't corrupt going in they are soon pressured into being corrupt by lobbiest and old school politicans.
It is viable because it IS corrupted. And that is because people are sheeple. A republic (not a democracy) depends on an intelligent and informed electorate.
Most voters are neither. So get used to the corruption. The best that can happen is that it all falls down.
Which it looks like is in process.
The 2 party system has been corrupted since we allowed the Federal Reserve to print our money and borrow it back to us plus interest. The only way for our country to regain its greatness is to stop voting for 2 party system canidates and elect people who respect the Constitution and the liberty and freedoms our Founding Fathers created for us. If you hated the way the last Republican President and Congress shredded the Constitution, Obama and this Democratic Congress is making that look like child's play.
I believe the system relies on it's corruption now.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
