What I find strange, is, in a world as diverse as ours, why is there only basicaly 2 political parties in the US?

I think they are both controlled by the same puppet masters and you guys are all being played off against each other.

Give em enough bad cop and they will go for the good cop and go along with everything he wants...

In the end your distrust will grow to the point that you will probably wish for UN like control.
