For almost two and a half centuries now, we have struggled back and forth while trying to do what we think is best for our country and those who live here.
The backing and forthing has always gone on, leading to our two-party system and strong opinions about the best course to take. It’s kind of funny how the whole country can think we’re heading in the wrong direction, but each half thinks it’s the fault of the other half.
Our democracy is based on our Constitution, which is imitated and admired the world over for its simple concept that each of our citizens should have an equal voice and that the majority of those voices should rule…until the next election cycle. Until relatively recently, we basically accepted this notion, even when we didn’t like the outcome, because we believe in the power of We, the People.
