Two-party voting gives the illusion of choice

The government WANTS you to pick a side. They WANT you to love or support one party while hating or mocking another. When in reality, both major political parties are equally complacent to authority and submissive to government power. We are given the illusion of making a choice that is distinct from the other, but both options ultimately lead to one thing: the expansion of political power. If the system remains this way, our freedom to choose, speak and act in a way we see fit will perpetually be diminished, and the appearance of a suitable representative becomes less and less likely as voting for the lesser evil paves the way for even worse evils. The differences between the two parties are trivial. In fact, they are likely made up by the government because many republicans would and do support the legalization of marijuana, and many democrats would and do support legal gun ownership. Yet, they are forced to settle for a candidate that does not adequately represent their views because they have no other potentially successful option, or they may even suppress what they truly think in order to more closely align with their chosen political party.

These minor differences between ideologies are actually used to distract from the blatant and harmful similarity between them(the fact that both parties increase government power and control). However, staunch members of both parties remain completely unaware that they are being manipulated. They intensely advocate, often arrogantly, certain views and positions that are unimportant and distracting, and were DESIGNED to be emotionally supported by naive voters, and influence them to continue voting for that party. They do this instead of voting according to their own personal unique views developed through research and study. There should be a political party for every person there is.

Voters for the party, NOT for policies

The government doesn't want people forming opinions independently from the main two parties. If people actually studied the issues on their own, using evidence and logic, analysis and objectivity, they might happen on values and beliefs that are critical of, or even oppose the political agenda. The powers-that-be simply cannot have this! It takes far less time, energy, and mental effort to vote for your party's candidate without fully understanding their policies and positions on anything. To be fair, people have lives. Jobs, college, family, these are all very real obligations in most people's lives. But the government is counting on this. They are dependent on people NOT going out of their way, out of laziness, ignorance, or because of genuine obligation, to research and evaluate a candidate's policies, and instead simply vote for their party.

This type of activity is in the government's best interest. It is favorable to THEM, if people do not investigate a candidate, and just vote for their party. And this happens A LOT.If people did a some very moderate research into their candidate's, they would be surprised to find what positions they might be espousing. Voting for a party and not for policy makes people stupid. It allows our representatives to be able to do almost anything they want since the majority never cared to find out what their policies were. It takes away people's responsibility to make their own decisions even more. They don't have to think, or study, or research, or criticize, or form their own conclusions. Each party has their own brand of platitudes and meaningless slogans and phrases that catch people's attention and get them excited about the party or the candidate, without them actually knowing anything about the candidate's views or true intentions. There is the minority that actually do care to spend the time researching their candidates and STILL find them suitable.

This is because the government has tricked them as well. The more intelligent voters are well aware their decisions increase political control, but they feel justified in thinking this because they have been conditioned to think that all humans are evil, garbage, and are essentially a terrible species that desperately needs to be controlled. The dumb voters believe they are fighting the establishment when they vote. But the "smart" ones have more advanced knowledge of their decisions mean, yet do it anyway. This is because they have been tricked even more than the ignorant voters that authority is necessary for humans to live peacefully. Which, of course, is the oldest lie ever told. There are individuals who are more apt of a representative for rather large factions of the population whose views are more diverse and complex, and who, if a suitable candidate could be found for them, would have a very decent chance at winning an election.

But any candidate MUST be consistent with the one of the two major political parties to be considered, otherwise the grand design to increase government power through each ideology will be disrupted. There's always the third party option. But, because of the incredibly heavy and deep manipulation of the population to believe the government's lies that there only two legitimate ways of viewing politics, along with the self-fulfilling falsity that there is no chance of a third-party getting elected so why bother, and lots of other creative manipulations, third-party candidates are nothing more than a false idol. They are used to give us the impression we have choice, options, freedom. But we do not. NOT voting is not doing nothing. It is stomping our feet on the hard ground, letting everyone know that we refuse to play this game. Do not fall for it. Voting will get us nowhere, fast. Think for yourselves.
