American politics has turned into a game show. People are planted in the audience at rallies to hold signs, pretend to cheer, and ask pro-candidate questions. Both parties' conventions are now nothing more than 72-hour long infomercials for candidates who've already been chosen, instead of serving a purpose and having ballots to decide on a nominee, as was their original purpose. Cable news channels all pick sides and decide for us instead of being objective and just reporting facts. Pundits and party talking heads pretend to fight with the other side over trivial things, all the while both parties support meddling overseas in other nation's affairs, both parties support bailouts and economic "stimulus" using OUR money, and both parties are in favor of destroying our currency, leading to the inevitable end of our dominance in the global market.
So, I simply do not support either party anymore, because it's all fake and staged. Neither candidate is allowed to state their real opinion on things because they're afraid of offending someone, and the debates in the fall are going to be over things they have no real control over like the fake "contraception" controversy that isn't even a real issue, abortion which neither candidate can do anything about, and "taxes", even though Republicans claim they're for lower taxes but they support just as much deficit spending as the Democrats do. I'm so done with that. Let me know when a real leader emerges from the crowd of pus****, and then maybe I'll give a damn about politics again.
