Voting is and will continue to be a waste of time. Most of the financial support for the R/D duopoly comes from businesses, not from people, and the Supreme Court has approved. The people do not control who goes on the ballot. So voting for R's and D's will never solve the problem. Third parties? They have to spend most of their time and money getting access to the ballot at all. The R's and D's don't like competition, so they make it damn near impossible to oppose them on the ballot and their backers approve of this. It's similar to other "businesses" that produce nothing (except profits for themselves), the banks and the stock brokers; it's based on a government granted duopoly. The system is rigged. The people have no voice any longer, but they are brainwashed (by history lessons in public schools, movies, television programs, commercials, etc etc) to believe that they still do. The people only have the ultimate say if they are willing to risk their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. So far, the risk vs reward of that is believed to be a losing proposition by the people. The government has made examples of those who took the risk in Ruby Ridge and Waco.

Reince Priebus and Tim Kaine. Sith lords. We serve and don't even know it. Who said "The goal of the RNC is to raise money and win elections." (the spokesperson of the RNC said this). What is the return on investment for political contributions? (how about spending 114 millions to get 300 BILLION). ritholtz.com Bull. People have no say. Each sith lord will choose some pretty stud/biatch from their stable of evil apprentices and you will choose from them in the next election. You have no say. What I would like to see is guillotines erected and used. Restrictions where you can't vote or run unless you served at least 4 years in the military. Laws enacted to forbid any political contributions. Ain't gonna happen.
