I wanted to write this post 2 years ago. I did not. Now? It is time.
See, I live in a country which calls itself a 2-party system. That’s not set in stone or anything, that’s just the way it’s shaken out.
I’m a registered Independent. That means no single party has my allegiance, though even had I claimed one or the other I would still be free to vote as I deem appropriate. I’ve said elsewhere that my only real concern is which candidate supports individual empowerment the most. That has always been my concern, with the main other concern being to balance the scales. If I vote one way for the president, I vote the other for Congress. Why? If they are bickering children, then the only things that actually get through are those things which are agreed upon. Alright, that I can deal with. Bicker away!
But what I’ve seen in the last 20 years is a profound rot settling into both parties. One side has slid unequivocally into flat out communist territory. Hells to the no. Nothing is more dishonest and disempowering than communism, especially when it’s communists trying desperately to convince others they’re actually just benevolent socialists.
I always identified myself as more a liberal, but in the sense of “freedom” – you know, like the word means. Whatever has stolen the label of ‘liberal’ in the past decade and a half is anything BUT liberal. Permissive in the case of hurting children and excusing bad behavior that they endorse, but everyone else better sit down and shut up. Not liberals. At all.
As for the other party … wth? They can’t pull their head out of their ass long enough to do anything cohesive. A brain dead marketing person could do a better job. Apart from essentially being completely defanged, my interpretation of this is simple:
They are complicit. Not the rank and file. Not the you and me of the world. We’re the peons, and they are treating us as such. No, it’s those who’ve been around long enough to have been taught “how to play the game.” IE anyone who’s been voted in for more than 1 term. For someone who, again, is all about empowerment, this deliberate systematic disempowerment is a huge fat no go.
What I’ve witnessed is both parties sliding to the far extreme of the bell curve, leaving literally the majority of the voting population scratching their heads as to what is going on. Considering I’m fairly Average, and moderate, and prefer to see individuals empowered to express themselves honestly, authentically, true to their soul while being challenged to a higher ideal to own their real potential, the fact that the rhetoric for both parties has slid into the extreme minority on either end of the spectrum…
Yeah. That means both parties currently in existence today do not represent the majority of the people, and I for one refuse to vote for either. I cannot, in good conscience and in good faith, cast a vote for either party. If I do, I will be betraying myself, my values, my fellow humans who want to live good, decent, honest lives doing the best they can. If I do, I will be unable to look at myself in the mirror and I’ll need to spend about 3 hours in the shower scouring my skin off with a Brillo pad in a vain and futile attempt to pretend that I’m energetically clean. No. I can’t do it. I just can’t do it. Both parties at this point reek of the Dark, aiming to confuse, disempower, disenfranchise, enslave, kill off, and impoverish the majority of people – all “for the good of the planet”. *innocently bats eyes*
If you do not believe me about the parties failing to represent the majority? At most, a party represents 1/3 of the people.
| % Democratic | 34.85% |
| % Republican | 31.66% |
| % Independent | 30.99% |
| % Other parties | 2.49% |
| Total | 100.00% |
When I drew this out on the bell curve graph, what immediately became clear to me is that we already do not have a 2 party system. We have 2 parties and a ghost party which has been convinced there are only 2 real choices. Assuming that all the millions of illegals aren’t smuggled mail-in voting ballots and told “fill this out by checking this box” when they have no idea what they are being asked, if all the Other folks and even a small fraction of the disgruntled members of both named parties walked away and decided to vote for something different… Instant new party.
The fact that the legacy media, those hundreds of stations and newspapers all owned by 6 corporations, all aligned with the toxic Agenda 21 publicly announced by the UN (which, to utterly paraphrase, will turn the world into a feudal style monarchy complete with serfs – you and me – and dedicated land that no one is allowed to use even in the event of famine), are going so rabidly against Trump has me taking a huge step back and a hard look at what’s going on. That is just … rabid. I don’t care what you think of the guy, that level of persecution and desperate attacks mean I’m looking really hard at those doing the attacking.
I’ve covered projection before. The number one indicator of projection in action is a strong emotional reaction, with the tactic of blaming others for doing what we ourselves are doing being a close second. CCP anyone? They do it chronically. When I hear people passionately pointing fingers, I know for a fact that the 3 fingers pointing back at the person doing the accusing is far more accurate than anything else.
In short, both parties are dead. They are vestigial echoes of a dying system which is desperately grappling at power in a vain attempt to stay alive. The question becomes: how many will recognize this for the upcoming voting season? How many will walk away and say “I’m voting for someone who upholds the ideals of honesty, integrity, a willingness to listen, and a desire to see everyone be their best selves.” The “my way or the highway” approach is toxic, short sighted, and disempowering. The fear mongering has gotten disgusting. I’m tired of it, and I’ll not support it anymore. The whole “don’t throw your vote away”… *looks up at the graph* Yeah. BS. Just desperately trying to convince me to do what they want. Nope.
This is an invitation. I bless those who are making it so screamingly obvious. Thank you for your willingness to take on the villain role in this life – that’s not easy and it has a heavy cost. I will ensure that your efforts to teach me where my power truly lies will indeed bear fruit, and I will thank you for the challenge while clearly saying No.
I’ll be casting my energy into putting a new government in place which espouses a more enlightened view. One which taps individuals to be more than thought they could be, which relies of interconnected communities working together to make this world a safer and more supportive place for all beings.
The existing parties are functionally dead. Let them go, just as we let go of the Whigs and the Tories during the 19th century. It’s time. Vote for Soul.
