That is a hell of a sentence. A good read all around.
Indeed. The fact that (roughly and routinely) half the population does not bother to vote at all in the presidential election-which tends to have the highest voter turnout- should be damning evidence against our overall system and structure of government.
And of those who do vote, how many of them really have their voices heard or are represented in the government?
People talk about the public in America as if they are stupid. That misses the point-the public don't have much of a voice to begin with under our system.
Dont have much of a voice? Relative to what country? The fact that half the country doesnt vote is not based on the fact that people hate the system. its a conbination of not caring, and being discouraged with the 2 criminal gangs we have running the country. Ultimately, our system does a fine job of letting people have a voice. The problems arise when politicians dont listen.
Thats an entirely different story
