Human nature is part of it, yes, but the point made in the video is that there is a deliberate manipulation going on, and that the parties are controlled by a group that has it set up so they win either way... (I don't know if you watched it, but I wanted to hear some thoughts on that from you guys)

I'm on dial-up so I'm not going to see the video but I have thought that for twenty years. I think the competition between the two parties is real though. But it's about power not ideology. Leftist ideology holds the power now in both parties. I think there are some true conservatives in the Republican Party and a smattering of Blue Dog Democrats that put country before Party or self gain. You won't see them getting much attention from party elites or the MSM though. I don't think the individual pols are all in on some grand over arching conspiracy. I think those that want power follow the trails that lead them to power. The real power brokers are communists/globalists but they don't hold elected offices.

That's my opinion FWIW.

I also think the US Constitution is a major obstacle for them. They are on the verge of collapsing it but they have to do that by getting the people to vote for it. Amnesty and Global Warming are the keys to bringing about a point of no return. Amnesty will consolidate political power over the U.S. and Global Warming will cede economic sovereignty to a world body such as the UN. At that point they can herd us any direction they want to.

This shadowy group of geniuses picks a bunch of ass-clowns to run for the highest office? Would you be at all surprised if any of the remaining characters appeared at an event in full clown makeup spouting gibberish and surrounded by a full road cast of Cabaret?
