That's politics in a two party system.
That is NOT how this country was designed nor intended. That might be politics in YOUR two party system, but not in ours.

In our system there IS supposed to be transparency. There IS supposed to be representation. Our representatives and senators are supposed to find out what the majority in their districts want, then go to Washington and represent them. The President is supposed to listen to what the senators and representatives say, and act accordingly. That obviously is not happening now. We have senators and reps "getting in bed" with the President's agenda, and damned to the people!
