I don’t believe that at all...we’re the spectators regardless of how much skin we put in the game....because they aren’t playing the game to win more than what they can gain themselves.....the gameboard isn’t in our sphere of play at all.
Just look at the line-up for the Pres. election.....re-runs every one of them. And we’ve been and continue to be mis-led to think and have hope over and over again only to see nothing changes...because they don’t want it to.
IMO we are no better than third world countries in our politics, they just know better how to keep pulling the wool over our eyes.
“...the gameboard isn’t in our sphere of play at all....”
Ok, so we just quit then?
F*** no.
You vote in local elections, right? You talk with your local party folks, right?
Every last one of these motherf***ers at the national level started at a local level somewhere.
That sure as Hell IS in your sphere of influence. Get in their face at the local level.
I sure as hell do.
And if that doesn’t work, find a party that DOES represent what you believe, instead of just pulling “R” or “D”.
Failing that, at EVERY election write in the name of the people want, and start working other folks to do same. Coordinate.
You do have a choice in the matter. At least it isn’t just doing NOTHING.
Like I said - F*** em all.
