Despite the country’s deep political polarization, most Americans share many core beliefs about what it means to be an American, according to a new poll.

The poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that about 9 in 10 U.S. adults say the right to vote, the right to equal protection under the law and the right to privacy are extremely important or very important to the United States’ identity as a nation. The survey also found that 84% feel the same way about the freedom of religion.

    The Dems are just in favor of a slightly less brutal oligarchy. The Dems by and large still take a lot of money and other favors from the billionaires and know which side their bread is buttered on.

    The Dems today are not a party for the poor, the workers, the bottom 50%, or anything like that. Thus the current Dems on their own are not up to the task of any serious economic restructuring. And we can’t solve any major problem without dealing with our insane wealth inequality.

      Think of it from the oligarchs perspective…

      In a two party system the only thing that works better than buying one party is buying both.

      Then creating a large push to convince people if they don’t vote for the lesser evil, their voting for the most evil.

      An illusion of choice where no matter what happens in an election, you always win.
