“The corrupt criminal enterprise of the U.S. Government
is on full display. Until the American people recognize that neither
party is prioritizing their interests, we will continue down this path
without representation. Over the course of decades, both parties
have pursued policies of domination and oppression while
unelected corporate interests and foreign influence are given a seat
at the head of the table, crafting legislation to benefit a handful of
shareholders at the expense of the American people.
We didn’t arrive at this juncture overnight. Regardless of their
stated principles, both parties have ridden on the coattails of the
other, pursuing the interests of their wealthiest donors and
lobbyists. Democrats once portrayed themselves to be the party of
anti-war, the "working-class" and civil liberties. While Republicans
portrayed themselves to stand for and protect the constitution, a
limited government, fiscal conservatism, and free markets. But, the
narratives of both parties contradict the outcomes. This should give
pause to any honest observer. Regardless of the reasons or
justifications made, the results do not reflect the stated positions
which their constituents have been led to believe. For example: U.S.
Military adventurism and conflict have continued throughout my
entire adult life, constitutional rights are pushed aside to achieve
desired goals, the unsustainable national debt continues to grow
unabated, and unchecked corporate power is being further
concentrated, working hand in glove with this government, to the
detriment of the American people.
Ultimately, the path forward depends wholly on the voters and
their willingness to reject this corrupt criminal enterprise. If voters
are satisfied with the status quo, then any candidate from either
party should suffice. But to begin to take the steps necessary to
retake our place at the table, we must come together, vote our
conscience, and reject the two-party illusion confronting us.” - John Saulie-Rohman
