We really have a "POLITOCRACY"



Are there alternatives to the current closed, narrowly defined electoral process of plurality voting that effectively limits choice to two major political parties in thrall to corporate money and narrowly-defined issues? YES !!!

The erosion of democracy and the narrowing of electoral choice in the U.S. are detrimental to most any issue, from the economy and health care to foreign wars.
It gives us a "POLITOCRACY" !!!

One observer defines politocracy as a political form of government where "politicians work for the party", not the electorate.
Online references to "politocracy" come closest to depicting our current U.S. political paralysis which is generated by the stranglehold of the two-party duopoly largely controlled by the corporate money which dominates the media and our election process.
It forms the "Special Interest Groups/Lobbyists" that pick our "major" candidates; our nominees, how and when we vote under what method they like, ....they even count the votes for you.




Media Bias in a "Politicracy"
"Media bias is often used in reference to the mainstream media: the network news, cable news, most city newspapers and numerous periodicals.  Examples of those organizations on the liberal left include CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, The New Your Times, The Washington Post, the Boston Globe, the Nation, Progressive and the New Republic. Examples of such organizations on the conservative right include Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Times and The National Review. Historical political polling data reveals that the vast majorities of journalists identify themselves as liberals and donate to liberal political candidates. The evidence suggests that there are far more liberal left leaning news/information outlets than conservative right leaning news/information outlets."

"But Media Bias occurs in other “forms” as well, specifically television programming and full length popular films. How does such bias come out in these mediums? Ask yourself the following questions: How often are American corporations vilified? (Almost always) Have you ever watched a movie or television programs in which the American corporate characters are the “good guys?” (Never) Are the American corporate characters the “bad guys”? (Almost always) And who are the good guys? The Lawyers, the Journalists, the Professors, the individual striking out against evil within the corporation, the military or the Central Intelligence Agency."

A good discussion can be found in Bill Collier's Opinion:

Resisting The Progressive Politocracy

"FREEDOM VERSUS POLITOCRACY......"
"The freedom takers of the Politocracy are on the march, and we must resist them!
They’re not RINOs, they are GOProgs! They are like DemProgs.
Then there are the Free Republicans,  that’s US, we’ve been against all forms of slavery, racial division, class warfare, and centralized (corporate/party/state) control by the many over the few since the beginning, when we were called Whigs!"
