"However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."
FAREWELL ADDRESS | SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1796
Washington saw it. And here we are. Two warring parties who pretend to speak for the people, but only use their power to subvert and usurp power for themselves and their political gain while pretending to be for the people.
We have come to a cross road where our politicians are creating white and black lines. Where the middle ground no longer exists. On the other side of the fence are the evil doers that seek to harm the country while on your side of the fence the lack of reasoning, unbiased thought and emotional intelligence fuels your hate for the other side of the fence.
I would wager that most of us land squarely in the middle. But political gods and allegiances prohibit reasonable conversation and discourse. We're in a bad place socially and politically. So keep on with this two party system that is the shining light for the world. Keep on thinking that your party is the only way.
