The Name of the Game

So many things always have good intentions and are meant to benefit a society. Such is the case with politics. A democratic system set up to represent “the people” of our nation was created to make us free from government oppression. For the people, by the people.

Yet, like so many things, corruption has taken control, making it a system of deception and misdirection. The people have become the victims of an oppressive government.

If we peel back the skin, we find private agendas, financial gain, and ambition. While campaigning, it is about the people- the citizens first! But once that stage production concludes, politicians slip back to favoring their sponsors and, most importantly, themselves.

I am telling you what you already know. Do not believe that we are free people as we are shoved into a two-party system that forces us to choose the lesser of two evils. The politicians are only concerned with beating the other side, and the citizens get tossed to the wayside, trapped in the debris.

These people that we elect to represent us need more accountability. In a representative democracy, these individuals need to keep the citizens first and foremost.

Don’t live in the shadows any longer. We can no longer be quiet or controlled. Stop playing their games and be the change.
