是我太年轻还是怎么着, 为什么在美国只能投两个党的票?

When circus elephants are young, their trainers secure a heavy chain tightly around their leg to keep them under control. As the elephant strains against the chain and continually fails, the elephant soon begins to give up and learns to be helpless. Later on, their trainers replace the heavy chain with a very small chain, one that the elephant could easily break. However, the elephant has been trained to not even try.

The elephants believe that they are helpless and will never be free again. The elephant is the largest and most powerful land animal on the planet, yet they are be subdued by their own minds.

The same can be said of the American people. We have been conditioned for so long by our present two party system, that we have either given up our will to be free, or we pretend that we are truly free. When you mention peace, non-interventionism, free trade, ending the police state and following the Constitution, the average citizen will laugh at you.

When you mention voting for someone else other than the Big Two party candidates, they will tell you that "you have to vote for one, to beat the other". Sadly, neither of the Big Two parties are willing to break that small thin chain that binds us all.
