Wow, pure Party ideological differences caused government shutdown.

What happens to the 'real' People at the Bottom of 'real' government? The Bottom is where democracy 'resides' with all the People. The Top is ideology and Party affiliations and never shall the Top of government,( as it exists now) 'merge', 'blend', with the 'real' individual at the Bottom of 'real democracy'. We need less Parties, and more democracy. To hear the 'interchanges' going on by the Two Parties is strategically interesting but, it only reflects a 'political bantering' at the Top. Its a shame that no one is concerned with the People at the Bottom; and by this I do not mean that the Democratic Party should give-in to the 'political terrorism' of the Republican Party. Even the Republican Party is 'split'. Hilarious, the 'haves' are bickering with themselves while the 'have-nots' suffer. In an earlier blog, I mentioned that even an 'emerging Plutocracy' is doomed to failure, because those at the top would, sooner or later, begin to argue among themselves. Well, its happening; greed can never be appeased; there's always 'more and more'. The best political move available to a real democracy is for the People to somehow inaugurate Laws that define more clearly, and which set the parameters, of a real democracy, even if the description is elusive. This way, any Party that purports to be democratic, would have to comply with the stated definition and description of democracy or not be allowed to exist. Maybe, even the Party ideology would have to be approved by the People. We've had Laws on Voting, on monopoly, etc. but they have been rendered 'useless' by Party participants who favored a 'Plutocracy'; a corporate society(legal fictions), or the Top 1%. None of these approaches is democratic, so why do the People need that kind of Party. Sure, there's "freedom" and "equality", but that's for democracy, not a license for 'political terrorism' at the Top.
