The Blueprint for Democracy

As election season heats up and the steaming piles of crap are thrown from one side of the isle to the other, I for once am going to sit back and enjoy this season of give and take. I know that most people reading this would expect me to highlight an issue or candidate that is foremost in my head. However, the time has come to relax and let the political system work out its own demise. You see, in this, the year of our Lord 2010, one party will gain power while the other loses it. The American people are fuming with anger over deficits, social issues, the scope of Federal power, and other nice table conversation. So, trained as they are, those same people are going to go to the polls and vote for the guy without the incumbent sticker next to his name. Chances are he/she will be a Republican and they will probably pull off gaining back one house of Congress, making the next two years irrelevant.

That is when the party really gets started. The American public will look at the Republicans and ask why they didn't accomplish anything. No deficits were solved, no crisis adverted, nothing really got done at all. The Democrats will blame the Republicans in the Senate, the Republicans will blame the Democrats in the House. And that is when things will get fun. The American people will finally realize that having two massive party systems, neither of which listen to constituents, give voice to the public, and both of which scare potential voters into votes, is not the way things need to be run. They will wonder why they only have two options on the ballot and will demand open and democratic elections. And out of all this dust and debris will rise the age of the Third Party. It used to be a joke. Every now and then a state legislature in the Northeast would have one or two members of a third party in its ranks but the two major parties never thought they would amount to much. But now, after the American public realizes that the party in power never listens and the one not in power just sits around assuming that they will be re-elected next cycle, the joke is over.

I don't know how it is going to go down, nor do I care. What I do know is that the two party system in America is numbered. It is time to shock the world, America. It is time for all people to have a voice. It is time to have an option that does more than force an agenda one second, violate the Constitution the next, and bring it full circle with two years of doing absolutely nothing for the American people. They may not see it, but we do. And it is only a matter of time before their party comes to a crashing halt.
