EDITED AND HOSTED BY THE GREANVILLE POST

Editor's Note: Knowledgeable people have long been aware that the United States has only ONE party (if by party we understand political formations representing a particular class in a deeply class-divided society). That party, strutting around as two "oppositional parties" (Democrats and Republicans) is the official duopoly, which, aided by the media, the professional political class, and the billionaires it represents, blocks the entry and visibility of any challengers to their monopoly, leaving the 99% of the American people totally unrepresented. Only the obscenely rich plutocracy is represented. Variations of this formula are seen in other advanced capitalist nations in rapid social decomposition, and where capitalism has collided with its own structural limits, notably the United Kingdom, which, while formally sporting more parties, is still largely a duopoly, with a demonstrably rotten establishment (the latest election blocking J. Corbyn, a mild social democrat, proved as much). The cruelly farcical Assange trial also shows conclusively the rot is total, extending to all major institutions of British society, including the media, the courts, and the intelligentsia. —PG

Below, reader Fredi Hazeem has filed a useful summation of this malignant political farce.

Welcome to the dictatorship of the plutocracy, via the Republicrats.

Fredi Hazeem
The US has "two" major political parties. They are in 100% unity and agreement on virtually all significant issues.

... Both parties:

1. Support tax breaks for the rich.
2. Wall Street unfettered
3. Endless War
4. Massive surveillance state
5. Corporate control of government.
6. Deporting more immigrants than ever before.
7. Ignoring climate change.
8. Big agriculture and fossil fuel subsidized in a gigantic way.
9. Capitalistic exploitation of every man, woman, and child.
10. Both parties support the police state. - Fredi Hazeem Oct2019
.............................................
Which of the two PARTIES:

Will end the Fed
Will stop endless wars
Will cut the defense department budget
Will fight for medicare for all
Will fight for a minimum wage of at least $15
Will take money out of politics
Will rid us of the electoral college
Will bring the troops home from 5000 foreign bases
Will fight the banks
Will fight to break up monopolies.
Will fight for the environment
Will fight for to reinstate the nuclear deal with Iran
Will fight for a nuclear-free Middle East.
Will fight for the homeless
Will fight to redistribute the wealth. -
Will fight big Pharma
Will make college free to all
Will fight to preserve my privacy
Will demand 9/11 truth & accountability
Will demand billions in illegal aid ended for a little Middle East country that refuses to sign the nuclear nonproliferation treaty.
Will work to find and protect the 2000 missing children reported each day
Will free Julian Assange
Will Ban all WMD's in their possession, development and testing - (chemical, biological and nuclear)

The answer is obvious. Neither. Ever.

Hint: This is why I NEVER vote for either.
NOTE: Senators spend —on average—$12 mil each election, to get a $174,000 job. Who do they really work for ...?
