Money paying to play is not a story of patriotism. It is something else. It is sordid. It is widespread. It is where bipartisanship of the two party system we live under shows up with sides handshaking on who's to be served, at whose expense. This video. Civics 101 - they don't care what shirt you have on as long as you buy into the game? Ever wonder why there are only two parties? Not three, four, seven. You have a choice. Alice had two Tweedles. Leeway within a cage? You only feel a cage if you bump a wall? Or post a comment explaining where I am wrong - in general. Sure, there are counterexamples. The four starting at-large Ramsey council candidates, the two remaining. And what is their power?
