even with their billion dollar donors, if voters don't vote for republicans and democrats, then the republican and democratic parties will shrivel up and die.
once the republican and democratic parties are gone, and lobbyists are rendered powerless, then our no-party representatives can fix the USA. much-needed changes to the constitution can be made--like "no taxation without representation", a.k.a. powerful national politicians (e.g. pelosi, mcconnell, etc.) that 99+ percent of americans didn't vote for.
hopefully, some day, when the republican party, the democratic party, antiquated party rules and lobbyists are gone, and the constitution has been amended, then we'll be able to vote for leaders who will try to make our country better rather than throw rocks at each other.

are you tired of government lies? YOU can help to fix this mess.
our culture has come to accept being lied to by not only salesmen, but also by news media and government at every level--local, state and federal. the executive and legislative branches of the federal government are full of liars.

divided government
divided government has become the norm in the USA. for those of us who claim to be neither a republican nor a democrat, there's a sublime logic in divided government. with divided government both the republican party and the democratic party are limited in their mischief-making.

99+% of U.S. voters never voted for pelosi or mcconnell
- kentucky's mcconnell got 806,787 votes in his last election (2014).
- california's 12th congressional district representative pelosi got 275,292 votes in her last election (2018).
- approximately 138,847,000 voters voted in the 2016 presidential election.
- 806,787/138,847,000 = 0.00581
- 275,292/138,847,000 = 0.00198
granted that in a national election, mcconnell and pelosi would get some votes outside their respective kentucky and san francisco, but enough to win a national election? no way. yet, speaker of the house and senate majority leader are major players in our national government. two powerful old timers misrepresenting the vast majority of us.

please, santa, all I want for christmas is no trump, no pelosi, no republicans and no democrats
no sane person would argue that speaker of the house and senate majority leader aren't two of the most powerful positions in the federal government. how representative of the american people are two national politicians that 99+ percent of americans didn't vote for? in a democracy?

- california's 12th congressional district representative pelosi got 275,292 votes in her last election (2018).
- approximately 138,847,000 voters voted in the 2016 presidential election.

NO WAY!!!
pelosi and mcconnell were elected to represent the voters in their state/district. yet, speaker of the house and senate majority leader are major players in our national government. two powerful old timers misrepresenting the vast majority of us. some democracy. needless to say, national leaders should be elected nationally.
