So quick straw poll... has anyone here seen a politician from the big 2 parties at the federal level who they genuinely believed in? I mean someone you think has the right position and acts on it over 90% of the time?
Or, like I suspect most people do, are you just afraid of what's going to go down if the opposition party comes in?
We have all these knock-down drag-out left vs right arguments in the public, then it seems like the politicians in office just keep going off and doing things NONE of us want over and over and we can't ever get organized enough to vote them out because we're too obsessed over things like abortion and gun control(arguments which have not changed in my lifetime and very little ground has been gained or lost on).
In the meantime our civil liberties are going down the crapper, they're spying on us, they've essentially voted it legal for them to accept all the bribes they can take, every other bill contains big corporate giveaways... none of us like this. You can't in any objectivity claim one side is better than the other... yet as a nation we keep voting them in every year and they keep stabbing us in the back.
I really really wish we could all just get behind someone... put aside our little pet causes and look at what's really important and get behind a candidate who will actually help. I actually have one in mind but due to not properly supporting pet causes I already know he's not going to be electable. *sigh*
