It's all left/right nonsense. The two party system is a fallacy to make us believe we live in a democracy because we can choose a new master every few years, by putting a mark on a piece of paper, when really they are all working for the same side while professing to be for this or that. It doesn't matter, it's all designed to create black/white polarization and division to keep us all fighting amongst ourselves over petty stuff and sometimes some bigger stuff, while they get all together and implement whatever they please, according to their masters orders. It all works really well and, yes, media messaging, tv, film, social media algo all play a huge part in this. We think we are having free thought and making our own decisions but we heavily are manipulated! Elections are heavily manipulated via social media. That's where elections are being held now. People need to start researching this. It is fascinating and horrifying all at the same time. And it's been going on a very long time. The advent of social media has completely changed the script.
