The two-party system is obviously fractured and is no longer working. The Republicans obstruct the Democrats and the Democrats obstruct the Republicans. Both parties are for warfare, welfare, and the status quo. When in power, they bully the people, tell them what to do, and impose their will on others.
This is Washington politics. The only difference between a Republican and a Democrat at this point is that one is in power and the other one isn’t.
Over the weekend, Senator Ben Sasse (R-NE) tweeted that he has considered switching from Republican to Independent.
yep — regularly consider it

The tweet prompted CNN to invite Sasse to the program to discuss further with Jake Tapper. When asked why and what’s stopping him, Sasse responded:
“Yeah, so I’m one of about eight people in the U.S. Senate who’s never been a politician before, and I think I’ve been saying for three years that I conceive of myself as an independent conservative who caucuses with the Republicans – but frankly, neither of these parties have a long-term vision for the future of the country.
You know, ten years from now, where are we going to be in the future of work when young people are disrupted out of jobs three times a decade? Future [of] war and cyber? The collapse of community? There’s massive stuff happening in America and these parties are really pretty content to do 24-hour news cycles screaming at each other. The main thing that the Democrats are for is being anti-Republican and anti-Trump, and the main thing Republicans are for is being anti-Democrat and anti-CNN.
Neither of these things are really worth getting out of bed in the morning for. I think we should be talking about where the country is gonna be in ten years. So, I’ve been saying for a long time that these parties need to reform and have a future-focused vision and we’re not there yet.”
He is exactly right.
Neither part has any vision for the country. The Republicans want to spend big, go to war, and police the world. The Democrats want the same but with more socialism.
Though, it should be pointed out that the entire country is pretty much anti-CNN at this point.
