"Each party steals so many articles of faith from the other, and the candidates spend so much time making each other's speeches, that by the time election day is past there is nothing much to do save turn the sitting rascals out and let a new gang in"

- H. L. Mencken

About this Quote

This quote by H. L. Mencken is a commentary on the state of politics in the early 20th century. He is suggesting that the 2 significant political parties have become so comparable in their beliefs and rhetoric that it is hard to inform them apart. He indicates that the only genuine difference between them is individuals in power, which the only method to make a change is to vote out the existing political leaders and change them with a brand-new group. This quote is a pointer that the power of the people is the only way to make a real difference in politics. It is a call to action for citizens to take their power back and make certain their voices are heard. Mencken's words are still appropriate today, as the need for people to be taken part in the political procedure is more vital than ever.
