Page, and their article is titled "Testing Theories of American Politics."

I'm not surprised. The only difference between the Republicans and Democrats is who they use to get voted into power.

Did you completely review this video report Steven?

Steve Williams Sunday, June 11th 2017 at 3:18PM

Yes. Why?

He said supposedly it started in 1980. That's 5 Republican terms and 4 Democrat terms. No difference between the parties, just who they use to get in power. As I said.

I guess in the age of the robber barons, the railroad tycoons, the monopolies etc. we were a functioning democracy?

The difference now is it's The Age of the Video Zombies.

So a question has arisen, are we still a democracy? Have money corrupted ur politics? Because at the national level. we as a people we don't have a functioning democracy.

Just look at the latest health care bill that came out of Republican control House, that thing is not for the we the people and the republican politicians aren't listening to the people based on my opinion since the Republicans got control over the House, the Senate and the Presidency.

You say, The difference now is it's The Age of the Video Zombies. Now you can see the republicans up close, in their leadership of the country. Back door deals, no public House or Senate hearings and no regular order of business in the White House.

Yes Steve, The Age of the people in power (REPUBLICANS) Video Zombies, is this what you really voted for?

I think I told you, I voted for Trump because I consider him an Independent, anti-establishment. If you all had had the courage to put up Bernie I would have considered him for the same reason. And I know I told you I agree with Trump that the media is the Enemy of the American People. As for health care the ACA was rammed down our throats and nothing could be worse than the ACA. I also told you that the two-party system is killing our country. The Democratic controlled MSNBC is shedding not a lumen of light on what are our real problems. You may think so Ron, and you are wrong.
