In Congress With Spencer-Grace Williams, November 9, 2016

The unanimous decision of Spencer Williams, citizen of the United States of America.

e have traversed the ill and dysfunctional network of the two party system for ten-score year in this great country, America. Ill begotten and contraire the will of our country's most benevolent and manly founder George Washington; we have continued with this farce despite mounting evidence against the practice, since the very first days of its institution unto our grand democracy.

Yet it remains, as evergreen as the conifers in which we deliver unto our living-rooms during the autumnal season. And as those conifers dry and shrivel, we dispose of them; as we must dispose of our country’s greatest disposition. A country whose citizens are as colorful in skin and personality as our sprawling metropolis’s on a summer's day, mustn't be expected to choose between such blind sites as Red and Blue. They day we convince ourselves we are the perfect Democrat or the perfect Republican is the day we have become blind and deaf to the trials and tribulations of our brethren. Truly, the day in which we convince ourselves that our fellow citizens are not indeed our brethren, is the day in which we are no longer American. Political parties are sores that boil and fester upon the population, a disease whose only goal is to claim power over the affected area. Election cycle upon election cycle, the leader of a given party that represents the interests of a half of the nation as opposed to the needs of the whole nation is given absolute authority. In no convoluted dreamscape has this process ever created anything but contempt. For reasons nefarious or pure, the result will always be that half of the population will be isolated.

To have many choices would be better than having two, but we've settled for two because it's much preferable to the pre-revolution choice of one. The idea of only one choice is tyrannical in nature to many Americans, but when we consider that by having only one choice as our greatest fear, should we not be worried that our political system exists largely on the basis of only two?

I mean come on; why in the world would we base our entire democracy around a system whose role is to literally separate us, by choosing which issues to conveniently be in opposition or support for? What we're seeing is essentially American football culture being played out, but with things that actually matter. Yikes.
