Jesse Ventura 2012

I happen to believe that the two party system could work in this country if its citizens became fervently and radically empathetic. If that were the case though, any system could work, even anarchy.

But that's not the case, so we have to work with what we've got, and from what I can tell, we ain't got much. I'd be happy to see the Republican party die, because at least then we could have a genuine debate within the Democratic party. Still, I'd prefer that both parties die. 2 is the exactly wrong and the worst number of parties to have. It drastically oversimplifies everything to the point where you pick a letter at age 25 and stick with that alphabetical character for the rest of your life.

Worse, you swear allegiance to it over your country. The best system would be no political parties. Next to that, many—as in, 6-10+—parties would be acceptable, then a one-party system, then a two-.

But here's the thing, the people have spoken, and they want simple. We're not in this situation by chance; we're in it by choice. As a previous post indicated, in 1960 45% of Americans said they thought neither the Rs nor the Ds were best fit to handle the country's problems, and we've been on a steady decline ever since, now near 14%. And what?! The parties have gotten better since then?! Fuck no! They've never been worse!

I tend to have very little hope for my country and for people in general, but if we ever had a chance, it just might be right now—if the economy stays bad, and gets worse. If it gets better, people will continue along, content to live the simple life, driven to acquire more money and more objects, to feed themselves and their egocentrism. At this moment, their capability to fulfill their greed is on the line, so now, they're getting serious.

I don't necessarily think Jesse Ventura is a particularly brilliant guy like Obama is, but at least he really does have the correct intentions. Ventura is definitely not a know-nothing like Bush or Palin. He's more than sharp enough to know whom to listen to, and in a role as massive as President of the United States, that's what's really important.

He's had his mistakes, but he's serious about terminating the sovereignty of the corporation over the "people's government" in this country.
