I'd LOL if it weren't so very sad.

so what is your solution then if it's not by voting?
In one corner you have a man or woman working hard for a politician to be elected, not being paid to do so but because they believe in what they are saying and believe they can make a change and do some good with their local community and more. In the other corner you have an internet cynic who doesn't have a plan, doesn't have a solution, doesn't have a leader to look up to and is only looking out for themselves. Who would you listen to and take more seriously? Who would you follow?
Sure you can say: 'well the second guy doesn't need to look up to anyone!' 'We don't need to follow anyone!' 'he/she is their own person!' Right? There would have been no American revolution if they didn't have leaders to follow, if they didn't have people to believe in, if they all acted as 'individuals' rather than a group.
If you don't like who's running, find someone who should or run yourself. If you can't win, it's not a conspiracy, it's not a government cover up, it's because you didn't give the people what they needed--you know, the ones who vote...
