Yep. You nailed it right there. Our votes don't count. Party affiliation is a smokescreen. Politicians themselves are irrelevant.

The people running this country are specal interest groups. Our precious Dems and Repubs in DC work for THEM, not We The People.

The artisan hack nonsense and BS is just a distraction for useful idiots.

Anyone who thinks a Dem or Repub is working for the citizens of this country, or who thinks a politician from one of the two major parties is preferable to a politician from the other major parties, is a deluded dupe.

I have't yet. I am getting close...might not vote for president in 2016 because far as I can tell NO ONE that is running or thinking about running is getting my vote...

Interestingly, though they are highly taxed, people in countries with a social democratic form of government typically are shown in studies to be among the happiest, most content people on Earth.
Maybe its because they actually see their tax dollars used for them? I don't know would be interested in finding out though.
