The real but hidden sinister beauty of the two party system in the United States lies not only in its air of either/or limitations forced on its electorate but in the fact that while the actual electoral tally is bought, sold, and otherwise manipulated behind the scenes to achieve outcomes sought only by the rich and powerful, the voters of the popular election are left blaming each other for outcomes that were never within their power to change in the first place. Being forced always to choose the lesser of two evils leaves them ever needing to express their helpless frustration and anger toward someone. So, they direct those energies toward the only visible target: each other. And the invisible rulers laugh at the ignorance of their subjects.
