John Washington III Calls the Political System a Joke and Urges Americans to Question the Entire System

John Washington III, a candidate for president in 2028, called the political system a joke in a written statement and urged Americans to question the entire system. "This political system is a joke! It's time to question the entire system!" he wrote, directing his questions at the American people, the Democratic Party, the Republican Party and every government official in the country.

John Washington III argued that the two parties operate under the same political system: both participate in passing laws, collecting taxes, creating regulations and exercising governmental authority over the American people. "If both political parties are supposed to be fighting for the people, why do so many Americans continue to feel like they are the ones being taken advantage of?" he wrote. "Why are we always arguing about Democrats and Republicans instead of questioning the system both parties operate under?"

He wrote that every election season politicians promise to fight for the people, protect their rights, lower their taxes and change the system, and asked what happens after they are elected. "Where is the change? Where is the accountability? Where is the fight for the American people?" he wrote.

John Washington III stated that he is a member of the Democratic Party, and wrote that this does not mean he will pretend everything the Democratic Party does is right, or pretend that everything the Republican Party does is wrong — the intake text of his statement ends at that point.
