Its difficult to discuss this topic without sounding like a complete nutjob but it seems ...
Of course the two-party system is designed (or has evolved) to keep the public's attention focused on a handful of divisive issues, while the politicians, who have passed through the necessary, purposefully-designed, prerequisities to acquire their power are equally (regardless of political flavor) beholden to corporate interests.

Of course the public is ping-ponged back and forth between two (AND ONLY TWO, from now until the end of time, if the current system operates as designed) different-seeming parties, who actually agree on a core set of issues--the ones that nobody ever talks about, or think that they would sound like a "nutjob" for mentioning.

What part of this is not self evident?
