Citizens Committee To Abolish The Two Party System

The continued maintenance of
the two party system is a costly and pernicious mistake. Each election year
bundles of money and vituperative and divisive rhetoric are squandered to
conjure up a Grand Canyon like chasm that supposedly separates the two parties.
Anybody foolish enough to buy this
hyperpromoted nonsense should consider that the Republicans are reputed to be
financially responsible and the Democrats are for the working man. As the former
son of this illustrious State once put it, the only difference between the two,
is one skins you from the feet up and the other from the head
down.
This great nation began with one
party, it should go back to it. As for the election itself, that exercise in
shamocracy is an antiquated and fraudulent bore. Since the country is in reality
(you remember reality, that was before television) owned and run by the top 1%
wealthiest people, they should choose the President.
No better model for how this elite should
elect their leaders is the running of the immensely popular Academy Awards. Sure
the show drags a bit at 3 hours plus, but compared to a year and a half of
standard electioneering, it's a lightning
strike.
Election year the lucky
oligarchs would be mailed their ballots and the results of their voting
announced at an awards ceremony. In familiar fashion, the evening of course
would start slowly with the selection of undersecretary of transportation and
build to a rousing climax with the envelope please election of the Chief of
State.
