And isn't it amazing that people keep doing that over and over and over.

WTF?
STOP voting for Republicans and Democrats. They are pretty much one and the same in the big picture of things.
If you want to know why things don't ever REALLY change...it's because citizens are afraid of REAL change, and the 2 party system takes full advantage of it to stay in power.
On this mid-term election...I went in and voted against every incumbent on the ballot.
Any choices I had for an independent or Libertarian candidate I voted for them.
On the rest of the ballot I voted for whomever was NOT the incumbent. So other than the independents and Libertarians, I voted mostly Democrat because it was mostly Republican incumbents on the ballot here.
For the elections for judges they don't list party affiliation. So I voted against any of the names that I recognized as "incumbent" (or whatever they call a sitting judge) and the ones I was unfamiliar with, I voted for the woman in the race (mostly family court judges).
