The two party system in America which is supposed to be representative government(a REPUBLIC),but instead there is zero representation for the common citizen and the two parties only pursue their own selfish interests.These interests being the interest in establishing a global socialistic oligarchy.The government cannot provide for you because they use YOUR monies to do anything.It's your money so demand that it goes to fix and repair your country and your country only.They have no right to spend your money on global socialist causes while your country is in disrepair and your standard of living plummets and your rights dwindle,diminish and fade.
The USA is just another oligarchy.

A system of government that is run by a small group of people not subject to vote or approval. The small group of people run the world in a feudal system-esque manner. While the other people are basically their slaves.

The hierarchical structure isn't the problem it's that frauds and charlatans aggregate at the top and them bottle-neck the hierarchy in various places in accordance with their ethic. Because you only need to be so competent and I'm friends with this guy and not you.
Hym "The problem is that it's an Associative Theocratic Oligarchy. You're trying to do the same thing they are, just in reverse. 'BuT wE'lL rUlE wItH a GeNtLeR hAnD' and selectively cancel anyone who violates your ethic. In the exact same way. Unless you prove otherwise. In the same way that the enemy of my enemy is not always my friend; The lesser of two evils is still just evil."
