With the right to vote comes the responsibility of the voter to be informed on the issues and the candidates.
Unfortunately the vast majority of voters don't have the slightest clue who the candidates are and how much money the candidates have received from a political party to fund their campaign.
Where do you think the political parties get their money in the first place? They get the money they need to purchase politicians from the unions and corporations. The billionaires hire millionaires to write the laws to make us their debt slaves.
Politicians are no more than high priced prostitutes working for the financial elite and guess who is getting screwed?
The men and women representing political parties are not our representatives. They have climbed in bed with the enemy and take their marching orders from the financial elite.
It is clear from the most recent election results that in almost every case, the winners were determined by the amount of money that they spent to get elected. The character and integrity of the candidates and their positions on the issues were irrelevant. In my opinion allowing ignorant voters to cast ballots guarantees that the least desirable candidates will always emerge victorious.
As long as the bankers, corporations and unions fund the political parties we will continue to have mock elections where we anoint rulers rather than choosing public servants.
Choosing from a field of candidates who have been chosen by the financial elite is like going to McDonald's to buy a burger. They don't care if you buy a Quarter Pounder with Cheese or a Big Mac, just as long as you make your selection from their menu.
I have decided that I will never again vote for a candidate who has a political party affiliation. I will not support candidates who have accepted campaign contributions from banks, corporations or unions. We will continue to be debt slaves to the financial elite as long as we continue to elect their candidates. We must vote for candidates who represent our values rather than those who owe their allegiance to a political party.
The time has come to choose the most qualified candidates as our public servants instead of allowing the financial institution to pack the House of Representatives with their agents. We must look for alternative methods of selecting our Congressional representatives. I don't think that public servants should be paid. Paying a Congressman nearly $200,000 a year only attracts the greedy individuals who lust for power.
Instead of anointing the banker's choice, we should be selecting men and women of integrity who owe their allegiance to the people and not the corporations who fund their campaigns. Why not select the top five or ten most highly qualified candidates in your district and then randomly select your next Congressman?
This system would take the money out of the politics and take from the financial elite their ability to determine the representatives in Congress.

I believe you are right about the current selection process. There is really no choice. "We the People" are not really given a choice. Pick your brand of poison from their choice of poisons. The result will be the same.
You say "the time has come". This is where we differ slightly. I say "the time has come and gone". We have missed the opportunity to peacefully vote the Representatives OUT. I believe the only way this Republic will cease to decline is for true intervention by a true lover of our Republic and it's Constitution.
I believe we are in a Checkmate Position. Our only way out and to Restore our Republic, is to Kick over the Game Table and scatter the pieces.
Unfortunately, these " Elitists" (for lack of a better word) have been at this from about 1857 in this country. They have been at this "Game" in Europe and Asia for over 2000 years. They litterely rule the World and there is not much we can do about it due to their Invisibility using "Front Men" such as Soros who is one of their puppets. It's hard for a Blind Man to win a Fist Fight.
The internet has only caused us to become aware of our situation. We are simply drones, who serve these World Leaders. Since we are aware, the Stage is set for the Leader of a "One World Government" and the Earth's Leader to Step to His / Her position of World Power.
And with that, America as we know it, will ceace to exist if there is not an intervention. And, that in itself will be bloody.
Think about what I have written.

Here is the psychology of our present election process. The so-called Elite behind the scenes provide the candidates that WE are free to vote for. Doesn't matter which one is elected by the democratic process, the charade has already been accomplished. The real magic is that we THINK we voted freely. The process of elections and voting keeps us from revolting and overthrowing the rigged system.
Let us evaluate this current election as an example. It is only an example for sake of argument and the candidates involved are not the topic of discussion. The two major parties have placed a number of candidates on the ballots. The D party has two, while the R party started with over a dozen. There is a little unrest within the masses and a couple so-called outsiders have been reluctantly placed in each party. For the example, that would be Sanders and Trump.
Are Trump and Sanders really outsiders? That is up for debate. How about Cruz? Could it be that each are diversions placed on the ballots to keep us from banding together and upsetting the system? My opinion, and I could be mistaken, is that Trump could actually be an outsider. However, the Elite must allow him to "play" the game, for fear of being caught rigging the system. They will steal his thunder and push him off to the side and promote the other party pre-selected favorites. However, it's not happening that way. Trump is still in the game halfway through the primary process. Funny how the national dialog has everyone discussing a rule change during the R Convention. I think the Elite rule-makers didn't expect the outsider to live this long. I also have a "feeling" that Cruz is not an outsider, but a middle ground "offering" to steal the disgruntled votes from the few Americans that might be attracted to someone like Trump. Could Cruz be a party calculated Trump spoiler? Time will tell.
The D party has only two candidates. No discussion needed to explain why Hillary is there. She's the anointed-one to further the OBummer agenda. But the Sanders guy is really a gamble at this time. Could it be that he was never expected to win. The D party, which has Socialist/Communist tendencies, need "someone" to give Democrat Americans the perception of choice. The second reason is to permit ALL Americans to "get used-to" the Socialist concept that the schools and government have been "progressively" cultivating for a few years. Sanders isn't expected to win, but the "seed" has been planted that Socialism IS A CHOICE! Very interesting that Sanders is doing as well as he is. If by some miracle, he does happen to be nominated, the D party is one election ahead of schedule. The American people have been successfully conditioned! Who are Sanders supporters? The young millennials that have no firsthand experience with what Socialism really is, except the progressive nonthreatening indoctrination nurtured in their government sponsored schooling, plus a few left-over middle aged hippy types. The objective of Sanders being on the ballot today is to more easily introduce another Socialist candidate at the next election. There will be an increase of newly registered indoctrinated voters to appeal to. Socialism will be the choice of the people.
Now let us inspect the "actions" of BOTH parties by analyzing their legislative voting records. Both parties fight tooth and nail and point fingers at the other side. But in the end, the Legislation always leans towards the Socialist agenda. Sometimes the R's pull out a victory. But mostly they give-in to the Socialists "just enough" to ensure the Socialist agenda goes in the forward direction. The agenda must go forward. The only variable is how fast or slow it "progresses" at any given time. The temperature of America is the speed control of "progress".
In conclusion, both parties need each other. If one party fails, America will have one place to point blame. As long as there is a scapegoat, we Americans can be deceived into imagining we can fix it at the next election. The fraudulent election process keeps us from revolting. The two parties are in lock-step together. They need each other or the deception is exposed.
That is a lot to accept. If not sold on this particular theory, why is neither party rejecting the influence of George Soros? You know, the foreigner multi-billionaire who funds and rigs elections and wars internationally. Why is neither party exposing him and others? They both need his financing, to keep the shell game moving before the unwary dupes figure out the game is rigged.
The candidates are already chosen. We Americans have been deceived into believing we still enjoy a Republic. We are as far from a Republic as we could possibly imagine! Ask any millennial to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. There are too many dangerous references to make one think in that pesky little pledge. It's not taught in school any longer. A Republic is the polar opposite of the Socialist agenda, and cannot be allowed to continue.

This was on the news many times this past week. This is a secondhand account of the above media interview.
I'm not sure exactly where this RT network fits into the msm consortium. Got any opinions on them?

Here is an further interview with the same guy a few days after his surprising comments.
This is from the OANN conservative leaning cable network.
The host Graham Ledger is a real piece! I like his hour long opinionated rant.
I know I sound like a know-it-all sometimes, but I'm confused. Why do we vote?
With all the rules and procedures in the US Constitution, where is ANY mention about political parties when describing how the elections happen?
Somptin doesn't add up, and I ain't smert enuf ta figure it out!
