- Bell Work-“The problem with the politicians of both parties in the U.S. is that neither of them have a real agenda except to feather their own nests. They both have their hands deep in corporate pockets. All the rest is sleight of hand and distraction to keep the public occupied with trivia, divided against each other, and thinking their vote matters.”
-Michael Hogan
1.) What does the author mean when he says “that neither of them have a real agenda except to further their own nests”? 2.) Why would a political party want to “keep the public occupied with trivia, divided against each other, and thinking their vote matters?”
