Then we yell to the moon and forums...about what they do while they are in the business of "government" and reelect them over and over again. So whose fucking fault is it?
It is the fault of the unengaged population that put into place the people they selected to represent them and do their business in the "government".

Dude, you are AGAIN...completely leaving out part of the equation.
The two ruling parties have made it damn near impossible to be a candidate unless you belong to them. And when I say "belong"...I mean OWNED.
Don't believe me? Then try it. Just try to get on the ballot to become an elected official.
Unless you are a multi-millionaire, you won't even get on the ballot to give people a choice to vote for you UNLESS you are a Democrat or Republican bureaucrat who toes the party line.
You are running through life wearing blinders. And you don't seem to mind it.
Of course, the bums here on every street corner in Vegas seem to enjoy their lives too. So I guess human beings just adapt.
Me? I'm not happy with how things are. I vote.
What am I supposed to do now "killer"? I can't overcome the giant political mechanisms in place that are meant to stop us from having real change.
And when I try to talk about it on a forum like this one in hopes of getting more people to join me in not accepting this anymore and using their votes to vote the Dems and Republicans out of power?
Well...when I do that, I get clowns like you with your uneducated, derisive comments.
And THAT is why we have the govt. we have. Because of people like YOU.
