The problem: It's too far gone for correction by conventional elections and politics. The notion that we control this country by voting is illusion.

You're absolutely 100% correct.

That's been reality for a very long time.
The odds of changing (any single portion of) this mess range from 0 to none at this stage of the game.

Truth is, there're not nearly enough who'd actually commit to making the kinds of sacrifice(s) it'd take to change the situation one iota.
The bloodsuckers know that very well too, so it can only get worse & it will as sure as God made little green apples.

...way too many who're way too comfortably numb, I'm afraid.
