I never had to choose my subject- Scott Street

Fears- growing apart from companions, snakes
Annoyances- grammar (you're vs. your, etc)
Accomplishments- Doing well in school, swimming, trying to be the best person I can be
Confusions- two-party system
Sorrows- Junk food, netflix
Dreams- Successful, family, happy
Idiosyncrasies- being punctual, drumming on/with everything, tries to be funny (and only succeeds minimally)
Risks- fast driving, skydiving, cliff diving
Beloved possessions- Xbox, friends
Problems- Procrastination (ironic right?)
I am choosing to write my expansion on my confusion of the two-party system. While I indeed succumb to one of the factions of the two party system, I do not entirely agree with it. First of all, there are many more stances and positions on important issues, so why should there be only two parties? Secondly, the two party system does more hurt than help when it comes to campaigning. The two party system just asks for the bashing and slandering of the candidates from the opposing party. Thirdly, we all know that neither of the parties that we currently have are perfect - there's no denying that. If we all had our independent ideas and thoughts of how the government should be run, then we would be free to choose to elect the individual that best suits your beliefs on how the government should be run. Sadly, I feel that not enough people pay attention to politics and government for this to be able to work, and the two party system is the perfect way for people to hide their ignorance about politics. The two party system may be the biggest flaw of American politics.
