    The American Circus

    America’s like a circus.

    Every issue is not taken seriously by the politicians in power.

    Republicans don’t care

    And Democrats are too scared.

    They say they stand up for your rights,

    But they don’t do shit.

    Instead, they focus on culture war bullshit,

    Sing songs in front of Congress,

    and read poems to the public.

    How is that gonna fight for people’s rights?

    How is that protecting people’s rights.

    It’s fucking ridiculous.

    It’s like a circus.

    Every issue and tragedy that happens in this country,

    There’s just meandering and pandering and buzzwords and platitudes.

    No action.

    The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

    Wages remain stagnant

    And everything else gets more expensive.

    The gas prices are outrageous.

    Climate change endangers us.

    Disasters get worse and worse.

    The country funds wars overseas,

    Hurts people in the Middle East,

    And wants to start shit with the Russians and Chinese.

    It’s crazy!

    And what do the people do?

    Most of the people are convinced that to make change, we need to “vote.”

    Well, voting doesn’t seem to do anything.

    But what about third parties?

    This country screws them over and makes them have no chance of winning,

    So it’s down to Democrats or Republicans.

    Those two parties have a duopoly of political power in this country.

    It’s Democrats and Republicans, Democrats and Republicans.

    The country swings Democrat for 4 to 8 years,

    Then it swings Republican for 4 to 8 years.

    Back and forth, back and forth.

    The laws and policies can fluctuate drastically in this country.

    There’s no consistency.

    And the people don’t even vote directly for the president.

    Instead, we vote for electors that we have to hope would vote for who we voted for.

    And the people don’t even get to choose who’s in the Supreme Court.

    The president nominates justices for the Supreme Court.

    The leanings of the justices can vary greatly depending on who’s president,

    And once those justices get in, they’re in for life.

    No term limits.

    No way to impeach them.

    There is no power for the people.

    There is no representation.

    It’s all a shitshow,

    A clown show,

    A circus.

    It’s just a bunch of clowns in power.
