All your presidential candidates are backed by PAC's (which is basically legal corruption). Your rights and interests are only a second matter to them. Your voting system is horribly outdated and undemocratic, with the winner takes all mentality actually voiding near half of the votes and blocking out more political parties. And to make matters worse, you vote for people to vote for you. Don't you think people can decide for themselves who to vote for? People of the USA, wake up, you're not living in a real democracy anymore. |
We never lived in a real democracy, the united states is a republic. The founding fathers of this country actually viewed a pure democracy as one of the worst systems of government.

Shows what kind of arses some of the founding fathers were. You're not voting for representation, you're voting for people to vote for you for representation.

Yeah, I agree that is stupid. The caucus system is retarded and meant to keep power for a select few. Still, that is only for primaries in some states. It isn't representative of the whole country or the actual final vote.
