i'm disenchanted with the system and certainly disenfranchised by corporations and lobbys.
it may make me feel better to have not voted for the current loser but it certainly does not make a difference.
not sure it ever really was designed to anyway, our forefathers may have put a rough version of a representative gov in place, but their view of the typical citizen was not a good one, thus the electoral college was created to ensure that if citizens voting made a *mistake* in voting, the college would swoop in to correct that.
so we have a system that is designed to bypass voters, a system perverted with big business, the military and lobbyists
all in all................you see where i'm coming from?
