    Why does the US even have two partys? Chosing between neo-liberal capitalists that do war crimes and believe in jesus and neo-liberal capitalists that do war crimes, believe in jesus and hate colored people, jews and immigrants seems kind of redundant.

      If I were to create a totalitarian government built to maximize my power, I wouldn’t want one party, that’d be too obvious and everyone would know who to come for when things went to shit. I’d have two parties, make sure they disagree on several things that don’t affect my wealth and power, and then have free and fair elections where only those two parties participate. That way everyone’s placated into thinking they have a choice and that the proper way to get rid of a government that’s screwing them is to go vote once every few years.
