American Popular Election: USA has not achieved a Quorum for Democracy since 1900

Just 26% of Americans say they are satisfied with the way the nation is being governed, the lowest in the history of the poll. Fifty-eight percent of Americans believe a third major political party is needed because the Republican and Democratic Parties do a poor job of representing the American people. The Democratic and Republican (DR) bipartisan system holds all public offices at all levels of government in a nearly totalitarian grip. In 2005 ninety-nine of the one hundred U.S. senators were either republicans or Democrats, 434 of the 435 representatives in the House of Representatives are affiliated with one of the two major parties, all fifty of the state governors and more than 7,350 of the approximately 7,400 state legislators elected in partisan elections ran under major party labels.

The Democratic-Republican (DR) two party system evolved in six stages. First, the Hamiltonian Federalist Party was defeated by the Democratic-Republican Party that ran virtually unopposed from 1800-1924. Second, in 1824 the president became popularly elected but dissention within the Democratic-Republican Party led the Jacksonian Democrats and National Republican Party, later the Whigs to split the ticket. Third the Republicans defeated the Southern Democrats in Civil War and militarily occupied them while blacks got the right to vote and as many as 2,000 were elected to public office, patronage kept voter turnout was high. Fourth, by the turn of the century Jim Crow laws had suppressed the black vote and Republicans became decadent but held onto power until the Great Depression. Fifth, the New Deal Democrats and their social welfare programs justified dramatic increase in taxation and government spending. Sixth, the modern political system is known as the split ticket system because neither Democrat nor Republican seem to dominate and the President and Majority Party are more often than not from different parties. To ensure the Democratic and Republican Parties are opposed voters are voting for legislators and Presidents from different parties, rather than remaining loyal to any one of the two major parties.

This game is however unequal to the challenge of redistributing wealth to the righteous. The U.S. government is unpopular, the Democratic-Republican Party is deeply in debt to their aristocratic fantasies, the lack of a multi-party Democracy is glaring. Public and private laws need to be made to redistribute not more than 25% of major party revenues and at least 50% of PACs to minor parties. What do you think?
