our two party system always makes people stick to their team

If you support the liberal ideology then Republicans will bend over backwards to destroy your municipal infrastructure, impoverish your neighborhoods, and send in the police to beat, imprison, and kill your children largely out of bigotry and spite.

If you support the conservative ideology then Democrats will continue feeding bits of your corner of the country into a giant Wall Street shaped de-industrialization meat grinder while half-heartedly waving an LGBTQ flag. Then they'll call you racist for telling them to stop. Also, they send in the police to beat, imprison, and kill your children. Not because you're conservative. Just because cops need something to do with all their free time.

Idk about you, but I can't be a part of one of these systems. It's unconscionable! So I need to be a member of the other.
