Please educate me on American politics

I don't believe in phony group-think political parties. If they're all crooks and government is evil (as this pretend government is) it should be handled exactly as the founders handled it (see my signature).

"The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first." - Thomas Jefferson

"It is the duty of every patriot to protect his country from its government." - Thomas Paine

 

Democrats think government is the solution for problems. Republicans think government is the source of problems. Currently there are more democrats. They tend to be in larger cities where most of the population resides. Neither party has policies aimed at the common good. Rather they develop agendas to support their own self interests. It isn't much more complicated than that.
