[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly don't get it.  What do you get out of being f_cked over by someone on this side vs that side?  You getting f_cked over regardless!  Oh sure this side may throw you two more pennies than that side, but either way whoever is in office just ends up putting millions in someone else's pockets and it damn sure ain't their constituents - the people they're supposed to be serving and representing.  It's all a game to these politicians, a game to see which billionaires can acquire more money and more power and it doesn't matter if this sides ideals align with yours.  It doesn't matter if that side doesn't share the same stance as you on certain issues.  Who are they truly looking out for?  Who are they truly answering to?  It's not the people that's for sure.  They talk all this bullshit when campaigning and shake your hands and kiss your babies and make more promises than a hard-up first date trying to get some after a few drinks, but after the votes are counted they couldn't care less about your plight or your problems or your priorities.  Whole damn system is broken and people are too stupid to see it because they're too busy cheering, "Yay my guy won like that means something. [/quote]

I guess it depends if you are someone who needs health insurance and has a preexisting conditions, is gay and wants to marry your partner, wat a new park or metro station in your neighborhood, etc.  There are things that matter to my problems and interests that I do get. Of course I don't ask for things beyond what a democratic govt can provide.

BTW, alienating us from all elected officials, and in fact from the whole democratic process, would be something Putin would want. [/quote]

Not advocating for an autocracy merely dissatisfied with the lack of sincere representation and irritated by the the duplicity of politicians and saddened by the absence of accountability because the people are too busy cheering for or adamantly defending whatever crook or idiot is in office simply because "That guy is on my team" and don't hold elected officials responsible for anything.  The president himself said he could "stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody" and not "lose any voters."  And he's right because government has become nothing more than a Saturday afternoon college football game and all the fans care about is seeing their team win.  They don't care how expensive the tickets are they don't care how ridiculously overpriced the concessions are they don't care if the star quarterback raped some cheerleader or if the Heisman running back is getting money from boosters or if the entire defense is doped up with HGH and essentially cheating - none of that matters all they know is they love their team and hate the opposition and winning is all that matters even if they don't gain a damn thing but fleeting happiness and a false sense of foolish pride from seeing their side win.[/quote]
