I thought it was obvious from my first post, i guess not… Its simple. Vote, but “stop voting for the same people that enact those policies”… Doesn’t matter if you’re left right or center, vote for policy not party… Deuces.

When you have 2 parties that dominate the political landscape, but both are actually just 2 sides of the same coin, your vote doesn’t matter. Without the money that backs those 2 parties, no other players have the funding needed to get elected. Even if, by some miracle, some independent or alternative party member did get elected, how much cooperation would they get in a system full of individuals more concerned about preserving the power of their own party than serving the people? None. Both dominant players have a vested interest in making sure they remain the only players in that game.
