Yeah because we have been getting some pretty shitty choices as of late.

And people seem to vote for whom pisses off the other side more than whom actual is willing to shut up, consider others ideas and actually do some work.

@Viper Yeah, politics, especially the voting for POTUS seems to rely solely upon popularity. People looking at screen image (even a third rate image like trump, ronnie raygun's, etc) rather than policy, and the ability get proposed policies enacted.

That's not true either!
Where you from Son?
Don't you remember Hillary whining about how she won the popular vote?

@masaca true, it's like the actual issues don't matter, but whom can look better on a 6 to 30 sec video/sound bite.

Though with Trump pushing everyone to back him so, local politics have become crap as well, with everyone just primaries just being battles for whom supports or fights Trump more.

@Budwick Yeah, I do remember that. So much for democracy, and the one person one vote bullshit the U.S. forces upon the rest of the world via bullets and bombs.

You're killing this!
I can practically see people lining up to sign on to Commie crap right now!
