The simple answer is get most to vote Libertarian. But some would rather vote for a Hitler type as they want their vote to matter & feel it wouldn't if they voted for real freedom. Another is we have dropped out of top 25 countries in life expectancy, even though we spend the most. State law enforcers & pols say we must suffer unbearably & commit suicide if Docs & Big Pharma can't help us. If we can't take it anymore, just commit suicide, or move to another state and maybe never see friends & family again.

Constant surveillance of ALL our communications and actions. If you are doing something naughty in the privacy of your own bedroom. It is likely you are being watch by federal agents with infrared.
The federal reserve printing money like it's nothing, throwing hundreds of billions of dollars around and not enough being transparent about where it goes.
We are just getting shafted more and more. It seems like every couple years some expense or inconvenience is forced upon us.
When will it end? When will people say enough is enough and demand we clean up this system?
I guess as long as there are rich and powerful people profiting off this corrupt system, they will keep it going.
America... It used to be the land of the free. Now it is simply the land of $$$$$. That's all it's really about anymore.
The future may be those small drones that can take pictures & drop small weapons.
Why does the Drug Enforcement Administration monitor all 4 billion of our phone calls each day, because cannabis users will likely live longer & in better health, or???

Theres not enough manpower or computer power, your fantasy is unrealistic.
If you want to complain about stuff, focus on the phone and email.
The computer power is definitely capable of doing this. Computers have been able to do this for a while now. It's not enough really high tech, it's pretty simple technology to spy on people.
According to Wikipedia. The US intelligence community has 854,000 people who hold top secret clearance. That's ALMOST A MILLION PEOPLE WATCHING US. That's an immense amount of manpower, that's about 1/300th of the US population. There's a lot they can do.
LOL. Wow.
Uhmm.. lots of people hold top secret clearance, the vast majority of them have nothing to do with surveillance. You DO realize that right?
And no, the processing power just isn't there yet. phones, and email sure, but not much that isn't text or voice.
How many countries have you researched? We have 5 times as many locked up as average country, due to war on drugs (war on life-can't legally have a plant with over 200 uses & no deaths). Foreign wars are just an excuse for mass killings for megabillions. We're 2nd highest after China in pollution. We've dropped our of top 25 countries in life expectancy. We have 85,000 toxins approved for our air, soil, food & water. What kind of govt-corp alliance could care less than the 1 we've got?
If only people realized most Dems & Reps get paid to do things that harm most, we could have Green Party, & Libetarian Party the 2 biggest parties, & not for sale to highest bidder. Best wishes.

Exactly.
I can't believe some people still think that our votes actually matter in the presidential election. Obviously presidential elections are rigged.
And I also can't believe some people still think that a new administration can clean up the problems in government. That's not gonna happen. Only a total and complete revolution will break up the corrupt power structures that control the US.
