We have a two-party system, and it shouldn't surprise anyone that folks are upset. We are relegated like cattle to two options that do not take care of all our plitical needs. If we declare the two options Red and Blue, then it is obvious that all our Yellow needs are ignored. Of the three primary colors we are kept from expressing one. The US is not a one-color dictatorship, but it is also not a full-color democracy.

Yellow has to be expressed of course, and this time it found a way through the Red Party, turning it Orange. Most likely it will find a way through the Blue Party, then turning it Green, and in a way already doing that.

In our system, the voters are competing with the voters. Anyone not agreeing that that is completely weird? In a democracy the voters are represented by others. In our nation, however, about 30% of the voters get their Democratic choice, about 30% get their Republican choice, and about 40% gets nothing because they voted for the loser in the winner-take-all race.

We are not a democracy. Getting the USA 2.0 upgrade should be our priority so we can express ourselves in full color.
