RANT

and it is not going to change...

As log as people don't do the most basic of things they can do... SHOW UP AT THE POLLS... I don't expect any other change.

How many folks showed up to vote? Here locally less than 30% of registered voters. This is how bad it is. For round numbers 30% of us decide for the other 70%, and the 30% that show up on off year elections, primaries, et al... tend to be to the right.

This will not be popular... but if you are a US Citizen and over 18 participation should be MANDATORY... no, it won't happen... and things will not change. And those in charge know this is good (for them)

So not only do we have pretty insecure elections, but people don't really participate...

You do the math.

Me... well pretty much it's over. I will continue to vote, so I have a right to bitch, but don't expect any change. And sadly many spouting the next box is the ammo box don't vote either, on either side...

End RANT.
