The American Two Party system

Well, that sounds nice. The friendly American going about his day and leaving politics to the radicals and idiots. But actually, this is a very sad state of affairs, where the best strategy for the reasonable person seems to be just staying away from any relevant political topic and thinking about gingerbread instead. I read that as idolizing the uninformed voter as a role model for getting along just fine. If that's the state a society is in, than democracy is not in a good state.

I understand it doesn’t sound great, but we run on our own pretty well, and a lot of us would prefer to be left alone. You can be an informed voter and not live it day to day. I’m done with Republicans for now and I’ve never had any time for Democrats (nationally speaking) so I don’t have much to discuss as your OP suggests. We are supposed to have a very limited government. That means we shouldn’t be constantly talking about what they are doing. Cutting back the worldwide military presence would be a good start. If someone starts something with us or an ally then fine, otherwise let people deal with their own crap.
