Humans are political animals, we will always try to have more power over others, to be more admired, more feared or whatever. That’s one thing that will never change.
Political PARTIES, on the other hand, are going extinct. They’re not entirely dead yet in this country, there’s still a lot of city and county elections where people call themselves Republicans and Democrats and have Official Party Views about things, and hold voting contests to get themselves into positions of power.
But in any contest that really matters to our government, either the election will be a fraud and the “winner” appointed to the position, or the “opposing candidates” will both be on the same side.
For instance: In Communist China there is only one Party, the Communist Party, but politics still matter, they constantly jockey amongst themselves for position and prestige. Winners rise, losers disappear. The REALITY is that in China there is no political party at all because it’s a Dictatorship by Committee with one powerful leader.
Dictatorships are like Kingships. There’s no elections. In China they call it a party because they claim to elect the top leader, but they don’t. Their leader gets there by eliminating his competition, and does that by gaining allies and forming alliances among the other people in power. It’s always a case of a new dictator replacing the old dictator.
This is the direction of America. Local elections are unimportant and just serve to keep the populace complacent. They don’t affect the running of the country. If they do, bad things happen to the winners. We see this in the news every day now. We no longer have two parties, we no longer have ONE party.
This is the direction of the world. Look at it. Stop imagining that voting is real and matters when it’s just smoke and doesn’t matter.
