You make very good points. I agree we need to rethink the political party system currently in place in the US. We need to route the elites and return the government to the people, if in fact it ever has been. All I know is that as an older guy, life was so much better before governmental bodies at every level, local, state, and yes, even federal, were part time entities which convened for short sessions and addressed only seriously pressing needs. Today, we have full time governments, again at all levels, who are ruled by corporations and enact endless streams of legislation, designed more to oppress the people and fatten their pockets, as well as the money interests they serve. Elections are a joke ... the young are used as shills, and aren't educated enough (purposefully) to even grasp that ... the list of grievances goes on and on ... I understand your frustration, keep up the good fight, no matter which side you come down on.
