Politiket... you can go after the banks.
So, in other words, you vote for whoever makes it to the final level at election time.
What a worthless way to represent yourself. And yet you claim to have outrage at the elected officials?
Here's an idea...
Register as one of the two main parties (I assume that would be the Republicans).
Then attend your precinct caucus every two years. In fact, try to become the Chairman of your precinct so that you can have a say at the county central committee meetings.
After that, you need to get precinct caucus votes so that you can attend your county assembly. Also, put yourself in the running for the Congressional assembly, Judicial assembly, and State convention. Be a delegate. Be involved.
Submit resolutions at the precinct level, and encourage those resolutions to be passed all the way up to the National party platform.
Then, and ONLY then, do you have the right to opine on public forums about those "evil elected officials".
Independent is another name for lazy...
