I didn't mean throw everything we do out the window. People still eat food and drink water. I don't want to change that either. But it doesn't negate what I'm saying or mean that I'm for the "status quo. I was referring to politics and the ruling class in govt. who no longer serve us...but rule us.

Look, if you guys think the Democrats or Republicans are doing a great job. Then just keep on voting for them over and over.

I'm not going to do that.
Fair enough.

Personally I think they should do away with the party system in general or at least remove party affiliation from any ballot to stop those who just vote for someone who has a D or R next to their name without knowing anything about them.

I think there are multiple steps that need to happen in order to reform our our system and I think opening voting up so anyone who wants to and has a legal right to vote can easily do so. It just seems like some people in this thread don't agree or they don't think that trying to keep how and where you vote to as narrow an option as possible is bad.
