Make me Laugh, make me cry… The Double Take!
I was grooving to a little Amy Winehouse (YAY! She’s still alive!) and checking in on the polls this morning. In mid glance, mid sip of the coffee, I thought I read… well, I’ll show you what I thought and you can tell me the mistake:
Public Divided on Need for Third Party
September 26, 2008The public is evenly divided as to whether the two major parties do an adequate job of repressing the American people (47%) or whether a third major party is needed (47%). That is a shift from 2007, when a majority saw the need for a third party.
Did you catch the word I changed? You might not have because it seems reasonable. Actually it said, representing not repressing, but how often do you feel like you are being represented by your party? COME ON!
I laughed at first then I thought about it and I thought of the reality of being repressed by the two parties—is it true?! Have the two current parties been successful in stifling out any 3rd parties?
Then I cried!
I think that there needs to be more public debate from a broader spectrum with more diverse ideas. Half the population thinks so too!
