Despite the country’s deep political polarization, most Americans share many core beliefs about what it means to be an American, according to a new poll.

The poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that about 9 in 10 U.S. adults say the right to vote, the right to equal protection under the law and the right to privacy are extremely important or very important to the United States’ identity as a nation. The survey also found that 84% feel the same way about the freedom of religion.

    Think of it from the oligarchs perspective…

    In a two party system the only thing that works better than buying one party is buying both.

    Then creating a large push to convince people if they don’t vote for the lesser evil, their voting for the most evil.

    An illusion of choice where no matter what happens in an election, you always win.
